Baker-13, W-5730 variety, considered to be Rarity-6 with less than two dozen known per our own census research. 

With an obverse portrait believed to be that of George Washington, though in an unusual style more suggestive of the Art Deco period than colonial America. 

The Latin legend NON VI VIRTUTE VICI translates as "Not by violence but by excellence have I conquered", with the reverse NEO-EBORACENSIS the Latinate form of New York.  And this is a nice example, with choice color and surfaces struck on a round, unclipped planchet (unlike the majority of survivors). 

A uniformly corroded piece in a PCGS Genuine holder realized $32,200 in Stack’s November 2012 sale; this nice XF40 is in another category entirely. 

Ex Stack’s April 1988 sale of the F. Dabney Caldwell, Jr. Collection, lot #2005.

Note that this coin has been verified by CAC.
