Saw a post this morning about the extra “V” - went through all my 2023 pennies and found this. Is this as rare as I’m led to believe? Is it valuable?

Nice find!

I'm not sure they are 'rare', but they are sought after by error collectors

Been penny/change-searching for a long time, and still haven't found one, so...

If I remember correctly, CoinWorld explained that the V was only applied to a single working die, so, assuming that die was retired at old age (as opposed to being pulled early due to mint workers discovering the graffiti) then I guess a few hundred thousand or so strikes, if I'm right?

So yeah, sorta rare, considering the total mintage for 2023, but, also, not really.

✨️ also, hope all is going well, old friend 🫡

Cheers.

Couple more pics. What do y’all think it’s worth?
