No, its a plot hole, but not one that is that big of a deal anyway. Just an oversight.

Imagine Breaker is explicitally stated to only activates upon Touma touching a phenomenon that is being supernaturally altered; both Magic and AIM (or esper powers) supernaturally influence things, and Touma can nulify them by touching them with his right hand only. It is only when his arm is ripped off does he become able to nullify without his right hand, but even then, he relies on the dragons to touch the phenomenon to nullify it at all.

Also, in regards to Precognition being used to avoid the attack, it isn't needed. Just look at where Mikoto points her hand and jump out of the way before the coin is shot. Hopefully, the shockwave doesn't blow you away, the sound doesn't rupture your ears, the light doesn't blind you, and the heat released by the plasma channel trail of the coin doesn't cause too much damage to your body.
