Best Answer

It's actually called a minting error, because coins are minted or struck; bills are printed. The defect resulted from a botched attempt to repair a damaged die. A Mint employee overzealously polished the repair and removed the part that formed the image of one leg. Some of the coins made it into circulation before the defect was discovered, and are now quite rare.
