Welcome to the forum.

First, let me compliment you on the nice, clear picture. Most that we get to try to evaluate are blurry cell phone pics. Yours is very clear.  Unfortunately, it looks like your coin's doubling is strike doubling, also called machine or mechanical doubling. It is not a doubled die, and is not worth a premium.

Looking at the photos that NGC has it doesn't look like a double die
