First off I just want to apologize if this is a stupid question and also for the terrible image. But I see this weird looking D in GOD on a few older silver quarters. This wouldn't be a DD would it? Possibly DDD?

It looks like strong Machine Doubling with lighting and a well placed accidental hit that makes the doubling look even stronger. What year is the coin?

I see a fair amount of coins with the same thing, always the D pushed up and to the right

I'd say that's Die Deterioration with glare. Too many lights being used to take that photo.

Well the first thing I did was to check PCGS what the normal coins looks like that year.

They all looked like the OP's example, but without the Machine Doubling.
This one was slabbed as a MS-65 Est Value, from them $20 for that grade.

I call his coin an example of push doubling. The metal was moved beyond the normal areas of the normal devices. MD not premium. Well it is still silver.
