It depends on what kind of "doubling" that you are talking about and how much is the offset. If you can't see it with bare eyes, it normally won't increase in value

There are different types of doubling, some worthless, some with a bit of premium.
What type do you have?

Although some will say that the coin is actually "doubled" because of the split serifs, I think that it looks like Machine or mechanical doubling. It's caused by the dies being a little loose in the keepers. True repunched or restruck doublings most time DO increase the value, but your dollar has little added value. Keep it as an anomaly.
