The fact they are overstruck on earlier issues is not unusual for this time period.
It is very unusual to see "LOUIS XIV" instead of "LOUIS XIIII". I don't recall seeing any other coins from any mint with "LOUIS XIV".
Having more than one mark from a mint official on a coin is perhaps a slightly unusual.
However in French numismatics, varieties are often ignored and not listed in the reference books. Since they are not listed, they don't usually get a much higher price.
The Dijon mint (P) and the Metz (AA) mint did not produce a lot of coins and so these are scarce relative to the more common mints such as Paris (A).
Until recently, a Louis XIV coin with a very scarce mint mark did not seem to command a higher price than one with common mint mark. However, I think that is changing now as the new Gadoury catalog lists a rarity factor for the different mint marks and dealers are more aware of them.
