Be sure to use a unique file name for each pic you upload.
One of your penny images replaced an image in your nickel post.

They were not stamped there by the mint, but by someone later. If they had meaning to the person who stamped them there - as I suspect they did, since if they were randomly selected letters and numbers they wouldn't be repeated on both sides - I'm afraid you'll have to ask whoever did it, since only they are likely to know.
Don't say "infinitely" when you mean "very"; otherwise, you'll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite. - C. S. Lewis

Years ago countries like China and India some governments, merchants and banks would counter stamp foreign coins to prevent forgery castings of the money. This coin may have been one of them, or maybe just anyone with a set of number punches...like SAP says "you'll have to ask whoever did it"
