It's also struck from clashed dies, and one of my favorite denominations for Die Varieties..
As for overpaying, as long as you're happy with the coin in hand, value shouldn't be a concern..
In hindsight, there are a number of Global Errors in my collection where my Auction Bids was Double the quoted catalog value (if you were lucky enough to locate one) that now (15 years of so later) seem like a bargain..

I'm sorry I ran you up on that one. I got out as I did not feel it should go for solid AU money. Nice coin, though.

In my opinion there is no shame in overpaying for something if you really, really like it.  |

Beautiful Coin.
I have an 1834 with identical toning, and the reverse is rotated like yours but CCW instead.
These seem to tone in a similar manner.

Its a nice one, am I mistaken, or is the O-108 signifying the rotated reverse?
The Overton numbers denote the die variety.
To have one of each variety would be a collection of 453 coins, each of a different die variety.

You might regret paying a premium for a premium quality coin now, but you won't regret it in the future if you ever have to or want to sell it.
On top of that, nothing gives you more numismatic joy than those certain coins you own that you just can't stop looking at, the ones that you find yourself keeping out and looking at just to look at them...

MikeF- I can't believe you actually "overpaid" for a coin that you really like. I mean, how dare you enjoy this hobby! Who do you think you are?! Hahahaha. Very nice coin. Enjoy it, brother. Sometimes you get a bargain and sometimes you pay up. It's just the nature of the hobby.

It's beautiful Mike! I wouldn't give the price you paid a second thought. As you already know... really nice examples tend to be the most desired. |
