At the Atlanta ANA show, I signed up for the ANA Journal, and I have been reading it the last several nights. My first impression is that the Journal has potential, but it is not as research intensive as I expected. The articles in Volume 1, Number 1 are as follows:
Great Collectors & Their Collections by QDB
73 Years of National Bank Currency, 1863-1935 by Peter Huntoo, PhD
Image & Republican Sovereignty by Douglas A Mudd
History of Diemaking in the United States by Christopher Pilliod
The Dark Side of 19th-Century Banking by Wendell Wolka
The good:
The articles are well-illustrated and well-written
Excellent bibliographies for three of the articles
No advertisements (!)
Attractive purple color with "Journal" in large letters*
The bad:
Only five articles
Only two articles ostensibly about coins
No gritty original coin research articles (yet)
The ugly:
*Because it looks like a professional journal and says "Journal" in large letters, any professional could probably sneak it into work and read it, and most colleagues would assume that you are advancing your knowledge in your free time on the job.

Great idea! Or I can put the ANA journal inside a tax journal and make it look like I am doing some important work.
