Welcome aboard, BertiferousRex!
That dealer's assessment coincides with mine. That said, even though it's not the proverbial "pot-o-gold", your 1853 is still a neat find. It's a great conversation piece. It's one of those coins that I like to show to a fellow collector and ask, "Do you notice anything different about this coin?"
Your coin could now form the nucleus of a type set of rotated dies. Speaking of Two Cents, look for an 1864 that has die rotation. Over the years, I've found a dozen or more with the 180 degree rotation. Happy hunting!
