Hello,
I just received the 6 following canadian bills:
1954 $2 bill Lawson/Bouey U/G1014884 ("devil's head") 
1973 $1 bill Lawson/Bouey AM2729841 & FC1715834
1971 $10 bill Lawson/Bouey DX2798111
1971 $10 bill Bouey/Rasminsky DT4057247
1971 $10 bill Beattie/Rasminsky DE3834318

Do you have any comments on their values?
thank you for your time, Roberto

It's impossible to provide any information regarding value without knowing the condition of the notes.  None are scarce.  The Lawson-Bouey cannot be a "devil's face" as the only signature combinations for these notes are Coyne-Towers and Beattie-Coyne.  If there is an asterick before the prefix in the Beattie-Rasminsky DE note you have a very valuable note but the chance of this is about 1 in 50,000 if my math is correct.

Grade in common note is paramount and if these notes are circulated they are basically spending money.  The $2 note may be a keeper.

Hello,
I uploaded the front side of the 1954 $2 bill because I thought I could see the devil's head there but I must be wrong based on what you were saying.

By the way, the 1971 $10 bill DX doesn't have an asterisk before the prefix! 

Thank you for your comments.

Well in general if these notes are Below EF they are worth face value... AU and above will fetch higher prices. They are all very common issued notes... especially the ones with over 1.8 Billion printed with the 2 letters.
