Bitten edges definitely are mint errors, but they are comparatively common.
Nevertheless, I have only found two or three in pocket change in my life.
Easy enough to obtain from a coin dealer.

Yes, as said above. Easy to get, but hard to find within circulation.

It's called an incomplete planchet, or more commonly, a clip. Yours looks to be genuine, even without evidence of the Blakesley effect -- an area of weakness 180 degrees from the clip formed during the upsetting process. I believe your error is genuine because of the weakness in the beads around the clip and the pinch off of the rims approaching it.
