That's a South Dakota state quarter, minted in 2006, and it's worth exactly 25 cents. 1889 is the year SD became a state, and the coin features Mt. Rushmore on the reverse.
A double die coin is one that was struck twice by mistake. When you look at the coin, you see a double image, two of everything. Usually the second image is very faint.
A North Dakota coin from 1889 does not exist, as North Dakota did not become a state until November 2, 1889. However, there may be interest in a coin commemorating North Dakota's statehood, which would have a value based on its rarity, condition, and demand by collectors. It is recommended to consult with a coin dealer or appraiser for an accurate estimation.

The U.S. quarter coin with a commemorative South Dakota design depicts Mt. Rushmore, a pheasant, wheat, and the year of statehood.

If you look at the bottom of this, that, or any other "North Dakota" quarter you'll see that it shows the minting date - 2006. In fact, if you look at any of the other State Quarters in your pocket change, they all have the minting date at the bottom. The date at the top is the date that each state joined the Union, not when the coin was minted.So unless your coin is uncirculated, it's just one of billions of State Quarters out there and is only worth 25 cents.
