Yes. Proof sets contain official US coinage that can be used as legal tender, although to a collector proof sets are worth more in the mint holders in which they are issued. Proof coins are not intended to be spent, but are legal US tender.

What is the value of a 1987 Bailiwick of Jersey 2 Pence coin?

These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth Two Pence in Jersey. The Bailiwick of Jersey currency (JEP) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Jersey decimal coinage is near identical in dimensions, composition and history to the equivalent British coins. Jersey currency is "legal tender" only in Jersey, but may be regarded as "acceptable tender" in Britain.

What is the value of a 1998 Bailiwick of Guernsey 5 Pence coin?

These coins are still potentially in circulation so, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they are worth Five Pence in Jersey. The larger pre-1990 5 Pence coins were withdrawn from circulation and demonetised in 1991. So, unless they are part of a Proof or Uncirculated mint set or are individual Proof or Uncirculated coins and in absolute mint condition, they have little or no value. The Bailiwick of Jersey currency (JEP) is pegged at par with the British Pound Sterling (GBP) and the Jersey decimal coinage is near identical in dimensions, composition and history to the equivalent British coins. Jersey currency is "legal tender" only in Jersey, but may be regarded as "acceptable tender" in Britain.
