All the non silver from 2000-2009 proof sets, any value?

I recently sold my fathers collection, on his wishes and everyone just wanted the silver out of the 1999-2009 proof sets (1999 was sold intact) and the non-silver sets were sold at 15% back. The dealer offered face value for the remaining coins, all the proof dollars, nickels, cents, etc. So I have piles of this stuff now, all the proof sac's and pres. dollars, the Jefferson's (wayward series) and the 2009 Lincoln's. Everything except the Quarters, Dimes and Half Dollars, is there anything worth more than a couple of bucks in here? I remember the 2001-S Sac's used to bring a premium, do they now?

Thanks,

TH

    3-5 of each year, so I have 4 2001-S Sac's, 5 2009 sets of pr. pres. dollars and Lincoln 4 coin sets, etc. Does it matter how many? Rolls?

    Every year I buy a proof and mint set, just to take the presidential dollars out for a Dansco album. I usually buy the sets on ebay the year after they come out, because they are quite a bit cheaper. I always have the puzzle of what to do with the remaining coins as well. I end up with a bunch of really pretty coins, that absolutely no one wants.

    No point in working out a trade, or even giving a way usually, because it seems like no one on earth wants a single, raw, 2008 proof dime.

    My solution? I drop the minor coinage in the change jar, knowing(hoping) some kid will get a proof nickel in change somewhere down the line and say 'wow, cool' and I leave the proof sacs (and mint set sacs) as tips. Obviously a dollar isn't a tip by itself, and a stack of them is bizarre, but a proof sac on top of a five or ten dollar bill has almost always gotten the waiter grabbing me at the door to say 'thanks, by the way, what is this thing?'
