Proof mintages rose again this year, with the quarter dollar still lagging a bit. As mintages rose, so did the number of dies used. This created a greater possibility of cameo Proofs, because such frosting appeared in the devices only when the dies were fresh. Even so, cameo pieces are rare for this date, as they are for all Proofs of 1936 to 1942. The Proofs made in 1941 are slightly better than those of earlier years in at least one respect: the excessive die polishing that obliterated some of the more shallow design elements on earlier Proofs was not as evident this year. One particularly glaring exception is the 1941 half dollar die lacking the artist’s monogrammed initials, AW. This feature normally appears near the border at about four to five o’clock on the reverse, yet many of the Proof halves of this date are lacking the monogram entirely. It was polished right off the die, along with a number of other design elements that were either removed or greatly diminished. While some collectors seek this variety, it is really just a late state of the die and quite common. The discriminating hobbyist should attempt to find a sharp impression with all details complete.

All CDN prices are based on proprietary market knowledge and technology developed by CDN Publishing, LLC.
CPG® prices represent retail levels. Collectors should refer to CPG values as a starting place for their negotiations, or auction bid reference.
Greysheet/Greensheet prices are wholesale market levels for collectible coins/paper money intended to indicate what a dealer, or wholesale, buyer would pay for the described item in the specified grade. Greysheet/Greensheet represent "sight-seen" values based on a buyer's in-hand review. The actual value can be more or less than this depending on factors including eye appeal and market timing.
Bluesheet (NGC & PCGS) prices represent the highest sight-unseen offers to buy on dealer networks like CDN Exchange. In many cases, there are no active sight-unseen buy offers, so CDN looks to the recent lowest market values for such an item. For this reason, Bluesheet values typically represent the floor of the market for the specified item. CDN only tracks Bluesheet on certain items.
CAC prices are for U.S. coins that meet the standards of the Certified Acceptance Corporation. You can learn more about CAC on their web site.
