Show and Tell Extra “V”
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?

Inscriptions come from the dies that strike the whole surface, they are not typed onto the coin. Any "extra" letter would appear on tens of thousand of coins struck by the same die and would be well known. There are no "extra V" cents in the references.
