1941 50 Cents

The Charlton 2014 George VI 50c Variety pages illustrate major varieties such as date digit positioning,double punches, different digit characteristics etc. If a die crack appears, it is because it shows up on the coin along with the major variety illustrated. There are at least 12 of the 32 reverse dies used that exhibit 'hoof to 1' die cracks. Yours is best described by the Zoell minor variety classified as F442s.

>>I'm curious if there are any 1941 hoof in date, since there are so many hoof to 1 cracks.<<

To my knowledge there is no pronounced hoof 'over or in the 1' for the 1941. For those years where there is a large die chip or very wide die crack eg. 1944,1946,1949 or 1950 the hoof and the last date digit are in very close proximity on the die which probably creates a thin raised area of the die which along with the pointed hoof (stress prone) is ripe for a die chip to start. The 1941 has a large realtive distance between the '1' and the hoof which would not be prone to forming a die chip.
