A double clipped planchet is a coin the has two missing sections. The clips are made before the coin is pressed. When the sheets of metal are cut during the coining process they try to make each circle as close as possible for efficiency. Sometimes if the rolled sheets skip, bend, or gets stuck the cutting overlaps. So a cut section gets cut again and you have an error known as a clipped planchet.
These are very small clips and usually only those that are missing 10% or more carry high values. Not that these are common but among clipped planchet errors these are not as collectable.
Here are two great links discussing the error in detail. First from a Coin Talk forum page and another from a Fluer-DeCoin article. Found this error in my change and the only surprise is that it lasted that long without anyone else taking it. I am guessing it is such a minor error that it stayed unnoticed.
Value is going to be pretty low since it well circulated and less than a 10% clip. Still a double clip is neat and not my first but probably the most obvious. Straight clips and ragged clips are also found in change but when less than 10% they are difficult to verify.
Here's the stats for this error coin...
Type/Country: 5 Cents / United States
Year: 1964-D
Metal: 75% copper 25% nickel
Mintage: 1,787,297,160
Value: $5.00 in VF-20

Probably damage, punch marks are not of the minting process.
If you can put clear pictures online somewhere and copy & paste the link here it may help to clarify.

I have a 2002 indiana state quater that is missing the "bezel" on the state side. in other words, the edge is cut off at a 45° angle, not a 90° and part of the inner metal is exposed. is this a coin error?

Sounds like damage since the machines never cut at an angle.
You may still want to post clear images online for a better evaluation.

I wished I could send you a picture of my 1929 Indian head nickle cause I'm not sure how to explain it. It has 4 clips or rolls on it. You can tell it was done before it was stamped or pressed because you can clearly see the date on the rolled up part. So I know it wasn't done after the fact.
