Just picked up a new scope (Celestron 5 MP Handheld Digital Microscope Pro) and checking out a '78 Morgan. The headband, liberty, is this normal or is this doubled letters?.

Different angle. Playing with light intensity or moving around different angles does not change what looks like doubling.

I think it is a 7 over 8 tail feathers. But I'm not an expert on Morgan silver dollars

Is this a VAM 38?
