No. That was simply miscut by the dispenser or vending machine. This was fairly common and even when nicely done, adds nothing to value. If the perfs were in the middle of the design, well, that is a whole other thing.
Shawn, To add to Phil's point, there is, particularly in early US stamps something known as "Perf Shift", which can range from slight to rather heavy. Perf-shift can be vertical, horizontal or both (known as two-way perf shift). Usually it's one or the other though. A perf shift is where part of the design of the adjacent stamp(s) appear INSIDE the perforation boundary.
Here's an example of a vertical perf shift:
Note at the top, into the perforation, you can see the next stamp above it. This can happen on any side. When it happens on both a side, and top or bottom, then it's a 2-way perf-shift.
But as Phil mentions, what you have above, is just a stamp that has been cut either on a roll with scissors, or in a vending machine.
