Hi I have a series of 15 consecutive bills printed in 1954 mint condition with the last two prints not centered
and two series of 3 consecutive bills from 1954 where printing is not centered
can anyone give me an idee of the value of these series?

All depends on the grade of the notes and how much the printing or cut is off center... can you please post some pictures

Conditions look between EF and AU there may be a few UNC's in there...

Unfortunately the off centered cuts on these notes are deemed as less desirable for most collectors.

Usually most collectors look for something that's perfectly centered and in top condition when it comes to bank notes.

A collector usually starts to find off center cuts appealing when a portion of the neighboring note is visible, and anything less usually just warrants demerits in grade.

On this site there's an image that shows the difference between the devils face and modified. You can use that for a comparison.

Or if you have a charlton catalog you can look at the prefix on the notes to determine if they're devils face or modified.... Sorry but the pictures are too hard for me to tell I would need a close up of the queens hair as well as to be able to read the prefix

Hi Garry,

You did pretty good.

152 - 153 and 161 - 163 all appear to be Devil's Face. if you have the others between these numbers and before and after these numbers you will like also have devil's faces.

The other bills shown are not DF.

The bills appear to be EF as it looks like they have hard centre creases, other ceases and clipped corners on a few.

It's hard to tell without better pictures.

Hope that helps.
