Looks to me like it was struck once at the mint and then several times after it left the mint in an effort to manufacture an error.

on a true mint error Double Struck coin, there's no reason for the original strike to be flattened like this. The second off center strike may be Die Struck (details on both sides of the strike) or Uniface (only one side has detail), but I see little to no details here.

This is a Vise Job or Squeeze Job done on a quarter in an attempt to pass it off as a mint error. No value, but the bank may trade it for an undamaged quarter.

This link shows the detail that I would expect to see on a Double Struck coin. It's a double off center, uniface double struck cent: http://goccf.com/t/377049

One dead giveaway is the reeding on the inner edge. The reeds are part of the collar surrounding the coin during striking. The planchet is smooth. Both the hammer and anvil die also have a smooth edge. When the coin is struck, the force squeezes the smooth planchet edge into the reeds in the collar, creating the ridges on the coin edge.

When a coin is struck again out of the collar, there are no reeds on the second strike. There can't be. The collar is what makes the reed ridges, and by definition the coin is out of the collar when the dies smash into it again.

You can look at this guy's PCGS certified collection of double struck quarters. Note how on each coin, the inner edge of the second strike is smooth. Note also how the outer edge tends to have ridges. That's because the outer edge is created by the second strike smashing the first (good) strike, and the first strike correctly produced reeds on the outer coin edge.
