Is this stuff worth anything?

Hi, All. I generally hang out on the Sports and Open Forums. I'm a small time sports card collector, so I know a little about sports cards and I don't know the first thing about coins. While I was getting my Christmas stuff out of the attic I came across some books of coins my Dad had given me years ago...I forgot I even had them. For the most part the coins are in terrible shape.
I've got a book of about 30-40 Mercury Head Dimes from 1916 to 1945, of which the older ones are pretty worn. I've got about 20 Buffalo Nickels between 1915 & 1938, 4 Indian Head cents, one of which has a hole punched thru it, and then a bunch of Lincoln cents starting with 1909. Are these worth anything?

The most valuable indian head cents are from the 1870s. Second in line are the 1880s. Coins with holes in them are considered damaged and are for the better part worthless except for their metal melt - and copper ain't gonna cut it.
That's my take on what you have within my scope of expertice.
