Hi Harry. As your collecting grows you will see a lot of this type of thing, old coinage with later marks/stamps etc. A lot of the time certain marketing 'firms' had a need to supply types of tokens and it was basically cheaper to bang some letters onto old pennies than to have a die made or get some cast, generally speaking though, it is mainly down to people just stamping them for either fun or practice for stamping something else.
You will never soar like an eagle if you hang around with turkeys.....
