I've got this 1948 penny and is this what they call a planchet or strike error?,
Still getting my head around all the terminology in the world of coins, so hopefully I'm asking the right question.

What they are saying is that it is not a mint error, but rather, someone has taken a perfectly normal penny and machined it to make it look like that. Why someone would do that, we can't tell; I would assume that someone was using it to make some kind of trenchart-style piece of art, or perhaps some kind of Magician's coin.

Alas, as a "damaged coin", it is not of interest to collectors.
