About this journal

This journal was originally to record my thoughts on collecting and building my Netherlands Wilhelm III Gold 10 Gulden Set and other projects like  my modern silver bullion NCLT sets.

The others were $20 each and you couldn't get a green for under $30-35. No clue why, as I said at the time on the PMG sid
