Looks kinda cool

My guess, though, is it's just machine doubling and probably wouldn't carry a premium (the mintages were so low for commems, wouldn't all examples be doubled if it were really a doubled die?) None-the-less, it's a very pretty coin.

I don't see any doubling.

I see very strong doubling, especially in the inscription "Half Dollar."

That's just the lighting.

The splits on the letters ALF of HALF are quite clear and definitely not due to lighting. Without any rounding of the secondary image, though, I'd still bet on a striking error. My guess would be ejection doubling.

Is this doubling worth any premium?

Yes, if the seller can convince a buyer to pay a premium for it.
Generally, the market for something like this is pretty thin when trying to sell it at a price above and beyond what the coin normally sells for, unless you can find that one in a hundred buyer that is looking for such a coin specifically or is interested enough in minor errors and varieties.

Now if it's listed in a Redbook or Cherrypicker's guide and you can attribute it then its a different story.
