photos appear VF20 but silver is hard to get good photos of, wouldn't surprise me if it looked much better in hand

That's really interesting about the date. I noticed that the 19 and the 41 were too far apart, but then didn't think anything of it. And I've found silver difficult to photograph as well. It's hard not to overexpose or underexpose parts of the photo, then there's the toning, which can change color as the light source shifts. I may try an HDR photo next time, to see if that helps.

I just realized that I have a second of the same coin (a bit more worn). So this would be the wide date, I assume? It definitely looks wider than my other coin's date.

The Canadian Mint reported that 32 Reverse dies were used in 1941. Because the last date digits were individually entered that means there are 32 potential configurations. This is certainly one of the widest ones....
