  Definitely doubled, but this is not rare for 1878-S Morgans. All morgans from 1878 commonly have doublings, recuttings, etc, since they were still trying to work out some bugs with morgans

  FYI - The lettering, motto and stars were punched into the master die by assistant engraver William Key. Apparently Morgan did the dates himself. (Engraver William Barber mostly fumed at the "new guy" getting the dollar coin design, and assistant Charles Barber cut wreathes and ornaments - but not for Morgan's designs.)
