The Norcal Collection
The Norcal Collection of Chinese Coins consists of machine struck coins collected by an American living in China from the 1930s to ’40s. All of the coins of this collection have been well-kept since 1948, including coins with the finest condition. Now almost all of the coins in this collection have been certified by NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation).
Below are some of the highlights of that collection, as well as high-quality Chinese paper money rarities.
