The Salutatory of the journal proclaims: "In again entering the fields of numismatic journalism, we hope that in presenting our old Coin Journal in a new and attractive form, our friends will encourage our present venture as they did its predecessor. It will be our endeavor to make it bright, interesting and spicy, and so desirable to collectors that each number will be cherished and its successor eagerly looked for."
