Comments: Obverse 4 is paired with Reverse K to form Variety 118. This is the third known die marriage for Reverse K where previously it was paired with Obverse 9 and Obverse 10. Bill Mackride first identied this die pairing during April 2007 and was kind enough to offer the discovery piece to the author. Subsequently, another example grading AU was located on eBay in late 2007.
