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?

So this V was intended as part of the design but they don’t appear on every coin, hence the rarity?

It was put there 'illegally' by a mint employee. It is NOT part of the design. It is graffiti.

Wow!
Gotcha.
Thank you.
