I would agree with theMS-65-66 grade. Nice coin.
Note that raised area below the left side of the of the 2.
Here is a Weak "D" I bought at a coin show. [IMG]

My first inkling as no. But I did an overlay and the Longacre doubling and the widths of the shield are a match. Even the mark on the right side...
