he is facin right on the left side of the stamp with his birth and death year underneath him 1801-1889 i found an identical stamp that was postmarked 1853 and did other research to find out that the stamp was in fact from 1853.

This makes no sense at all. How could a stamp issued in 1853 have "1801-1889 on it? And these are nothing like Jefferson's dates anyway. I don't remember when he was born (long before 1801!), but he died in 1826 on the 50th anniversary of the Declaration of Independence, the same day John Adams died.
There was no stamp issued in 1853 that remotely resembles the stamp you describe.
Hmmmm, is this stamp purple with a bust of Jefferson and perforations all the way around? If so, the numbers are "1801-1809," and those are the dates of his presidency. This is one of the most common U.S. stamps, as it was the "workhorse" stamp for the first-class rate of 3c from 1938 until the 3-cent Liberty stamps came out in 1954, so it was in use in 1953. It was issued in the tens of billions! If it is unused, it is worth 3c towards the cost of postage. If used, maybe one cent.

Wow fake psychic stamps....
think about it for a minute or two...
I think some of your info above was incorrect.
Not only are the dates wrong, but as far as I can tell, Jefferson never appeared on a three cent US stamp in the 1850's, only on the 5 cent stamp. Furthermore, no US stamp from that period includes birth and death dates.

If that is unused, then it really is worth precisely one cent - placed it which incorporates 38 cents worth of different unused US postage to mail a letter. If that is used, then provide it to someone who's starting up a stamp sequence. it could be the starting up of a lifelong activity, in which case it could be precious!
