You didn't overpay for anything. A seminar offering all you learned on that one day - especially at the early copper guy's table - would have cost you $500. And you got a free 200-year-old Large Cent for it.
I've looked at some pictures, and Its no doubt a "ghost 3" large cent. I see this because of the middle point in the "3," which looks short. I'm not gonna argue with R-4
