Welcome to the CCF! It's a modern day counterstamp.

Thanks I've looked into any idea as to why or what purpose the P counter stamp would be used for I mean it doesn't change the value of the coin so I hit a wall when I try to google anything related to it and in the forum itself maybe the p stands for some sort of cult? lol idk

There's no way of telling what the P was intended to represent ... Philadelphia, popsicle, pudding? Back in the early 1800's, gunsmiths used the letter P on their firearms to indicate that a gun worked. That P represented Proof.
