Save your money please, this is strike doubling. One clue is the flatness of the "secondary" but what should stick out the most is the mint mark. Mint marks were hand applied to the dies after they were created, so a die was already doubled before a mint mark was punched. So any mint mark that shows doubling like this is not a doubled die. It is also not a repunched mint mark.

All of this applies to all coins 1989 and before.
