Looks like it may have been coin wrapper damage. The damage is parallel to the rim.

No, it's defintely not wrapper damage. The leg is missing from the striking of the coin---without a doubt.

It is positively not post-mint damaged.

I agree with coop that the coin was damaged by a counting/rolling machine, the downstroke of the 2 is misshapen.
