Add to that "detached leg", "shackled", "2-horn" & "unicorn". I've seen double-tails (not rev.), as well.

Here you go on the speared one.
The other detached leg one is not really worth much
of anything.Unless you got a nice BU with the leg completely
detached.

I have a 2005 D Buffalo nickel and the D looks to be a RPM rotated about 120 degrees. I'm not sure if someone tried messing with it but I haven't been doing this very long and figure if there is one there should be more

No more RPMs after 1989. Starting with 1990, the mint mark was part of the design from dies. (No longer added by hand and all will be in the same location with the same shape after 1990 on all dies)

No, the "Blad Bison" variety is caused by a worn out reverse die. In Very Late Die States, the hair on the bison's head become flat and lack detail. Take a look at this image for the "Blad Bison". https://i.ebayimg.com/images/a/(KGr...~/s-l300.jpg

Another attempt to pass off worn/altered dies coins to sell to new collectors. IMOHO
I'll stick with die varieties.

You're welcome. Just wanted to properly elaborate on what caused the "Bald Bison". Just very worn out die. :)
