Is this a Trumpet Tail? Also, the upper split in the letter f from the word "of " on the reverse, is that post mint damage?
Thanks so much!

It's not the trumpet mm. The upper serif is not touching the body of the mint mark for one thing.

The F looks like a circulation hit.

I think both the bottom of the mint mark and the F have taken circulation hits.
