Welcome to the forum!
Those letters were stamped on the coin after it was minted.
It is called a counterstamp.
It is not uncommon for a private person or a merchant to stamp their name or initials on a coin.0

Thank you for your time.
Free advertising. Wonder how many times that cent was returned and spent at the same merchant? Let us know if you research the BONN stamp with top sawtooth. Peace Roy
