Found this reverse die crack, I believe it is Hans Zoell P445b which he calls a leg spur, I want to call it a poor man's hoof over since the crack does a nice job of simulating the lower part of the hoof, the crack continues up to the top of the 4.

Also two examples of the same 4/4.

Shouldn't the initial 4 follow to the left of the second strike (somewhere along the red line I've plotted).

pginrh, I see in the varieties section that the different reverse dies have been recorded, I'm interested in the die numbers for double dies, but only some are listed in Charlton's and Zoell's ,is there another reference available for these ?

The 'spur on the leg' 1944 was catalogued as P445b in Zoell's Second Variety Catalog....he then changed the methodology of Variety classification and it becane F445o in his third Variety Catalog... he continued the new classifications in subsequent catalogs.

Depending if the number '4' punch was slanted when the engraver was imparting it to the die, you may only see part of the '4' digit imprint for the secondary image.

Zoell and Charlton (and the occasional older Ken Potter columns in C.C.N.) are the only cataloguers that I am aware of for the George VI double dies... I guess I do not completely understand what you are asking. If asking about my listings, give me a PM.
