This is the obverse die of the 1913 3 1/2 legged Buffalo but with a normal reverse, before the leg was partially polished away. It shows moderate rotation.
They must be fairly common on these Buffs.
Cool never the less. This is medallic alignment as are all of this die pair (close fraction) but still a cool piece of early gold made in a process fumbled by hand.

aren't there a lot of RD 2 centers?
Rotated dies are very common on Buffs. I believe a majority of the 1913 Var 1 issue shows a rotated die.
That is a parameter I have not checked on my Buffs... I know slight rotation is fairly common on them... Cheers, RickO
This coin had been in my 7070 for years. I turned the page one day and noticed it. I had to look at it 3 times! I took it out and put it in front of a mirror to double check.... go figure!!
WoW!! Nice mosj!!
Here is a good web resource on known rotated dies. Though it appears not to have been updated since 2013:
