I have 2 1954 $50 bills that are apparently devils heads. Any thoughts on the value?  Good condition but circulated.

I don't know how to add pictures

The Beattie-Rasminsky note can't be a Devil's Face as there were only 2 signature combinations for Devil's notes -- Coyne/Towers and Beattie/Coyne.

Hard to tell value without seeing the notes but the Beattie-Rasminsky (modified portrait) note has a catalogue value up to about $90 if it's in Extremely Fine condition. The Beattie-Coyne (Devil's Face) note has a book value up to about $300 if it's in EF condition.

The beattie-coyne you have is not a devils face beacuse the serial number corresponds to that of a modified portrait.  Both notes are valued the same +/- $90
