That motto wasn't added to US bills until the late 1950s and early 1960s, so it's perfectly normal for it to be missing from 1950-series bills.

Serial Numbers

A bill's serial number is a counter and a security feature. In most cases it doesn't affect a bill's value or help to identify it.

DISCLAIMER: The values quoted are market averages as of the date shown, but may be different for an individual bill due to variations in quality and other factors. Also the wholesale (buying) price of a bill will be less than the selling (retail) price. A reputable currency dealer will be able to give a more accurate valuation based on an in-person inspection.

The series letter is next to the bill's date and denotes a Treasurer / Secretary pairing within a particular design. Series letters for 1950 only went up to E, so my guess is you're referring to the Federal Reserve bank letter in the large green seal. Regardless of the FR letter, a 1950 $10 bill would retail for $12 to $15.

"E" is the highest series letter used for the 1950 series of $10 bills. You're most likely looking at the Federal Reserve district letter instead; L would indicate that the bill was printed for and distributed by the San Francisco district.
