Not to resurrect old threads, but... I found this thread searching for info on this very same coin. I too got an 1853 Seated Lib quarter off of ebay, and it didn't even have a mention of the error in the listing. Just showed up and boom rotated die. Not as significant as yours, mine's only about 45°. I went to a coin show today to ask about it, and the one person who had much to say said that die rotations in Seated coinage were relatively common, but it would carry a small premium over an unrotated die. He guessed maybe $40-$45 total (mine's probably VF, yours seems to be a little better than mine).
Just my 2¢ piece worth, thought you might want to know.

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!

It's a good looking coin. Very common date, and rotated dies are not particularly scarce or of any more value. Probably worth $70-120 as is. In a TPG holder possibly double that.

Thanks for posting.
