Answer 1

Good Afternoon I have a 1795 Silver Dollar the front seems to have a Shield with a Fish on it and it seems the name if I am reading it right says Draper Poole at least I can make out Poole the back side had someone standing that looks to have a flowing scarf (maybe) around the neck and holding something like a weapon in the left hand.

Can you please tell how I can find out more on this I would certainly appreciate any information about this. Thank you in advance for your time.

Depending on the condition and the rarity of the exact coin struck (there were numerous examples of that coin from 1795) you are looking at at least $1,000 on the very low end, and $45,000 or more on the high end. Recent sales:
PCGS MS-61. Ex - Ira & Larry Goldberg Coins & Collectibles, Inc. "The Pre-Long Beach Auction", February 24-25, 2003, Lot 691, "Toned with a deep gunmetal blue color throughout, slightly lighter on Liberty herself as she gazes upwards and onwards. Good luster in the fields, as expected for the grade, and nice surfaces for a coin of this age and size. No significant bumps or nicks are found, and this is a great coin for the type or date specialist. Although a common variety, few were preserved in mint state grades. Fairly sharp in the strike, with just a touch of weakness on the eagle's breast", sold for $43,700.00.

Very Good. Ex - Stack's "65th Anniversary Sale", October 17-19, 2000, Lot 1135, "Bolender 5", not plated, sold for $1,035.00
