What does a star next to the mouth of a 1940 wheat back penny mean?

The star was added after it was made. Many pennies have different counter stamps but it does not make them more valuable; it kills the collectible value of the coin. What the star means is only known to who put it on the coin.

A star next to the mouth of a 1940 wheat back penny is known as a "BIE" error. It is a die error that occurred during the minting process, resulting in a small raised dot appearing next to the edge of Lincoln's mouth. This error is considered a minor variation and does not significantly affect the value of the coin.
