To be a low number, you have to have at least four zeros, preferably five in front of the serial number.
Yours is just a regular serial number.

It's very tough to approximate the grade of any note without inspecting it in person. Both pictures of your notes (this $2.00 & the Devil's Face $20) are blurry so that makes it very difficult to nearly impossible.

From what I can see, I think there may be dark spots on the top border of the $2.00 note. It may have been in a wallet & is likely EF to AU (Extra Fine to Almost Uncirculated). This would be about $15-$25 according to Coinsandcanada's pricing tables:

Below is Banknote Certification Services grading standards which explains the grading levels:
