Snap-on RXH series line wrench misstamp

Hello everyone, while assembling my first box from what scraps I can find at pawn shops and used tool stores for reasonable prices I've found a misstamped wrench that was part of a set [3 double box end flare nut wrenches] I got for $30.
It is an "RXH1618(last character could be another 8 or an S)" in almost new condition, both hexes look unused, and it only has a little concrete rash on a couple high spots.

What I'm asking is would this have any value to anyone, or should I just use it like any other wrench? The "use it" option would involve restamping it myself.

So no interest?

I can restamp it and not feel guilty?

Yes. Leave it as is. I didn't know there was a market for mis stamped tools. Best left as it came. I have been a mechanic for 23years and never noticed if my tools were mis stamped because I always went by feel.
