Should you decide to get these notes professionally graded, I would recommend
Banknote Certification Service (BCS) located in Kitchener, Ontario. You can find their website at
http://www.banknotecertification.com.
Also, should you decide to sell any of these notes, I would suggest first offering them for sale here on the forums in the Trading Post. The Canadian Paper Money Forums are visited by a variety of collectors, many of whom would be very interested in these notes. I would expect that any offers obtained here would be comparable to any major numismatic auction, but without all the fees.
We also have registries for the Devil's Face replacement notes. I would personally appreciate it if you could scan the front of both of your notes and email the scans to me. I have added the notes to the registry, but would really like to include scans please. The registry is located here:
