Yes the restricted list is a tough thing to stomach when you want or need something in the archives yet it's not available at all. Several items I've scanned are also on the restricted list - for now. I finished all the Charles Davis auction catalogs for them. and a few books on Colonial coins. I'm scanning a lot of my own library for myself as much as I give it to the NNP as well, if they don't have it already. Len Augsburger (Director) might be able to get a small bit released to you if it's a genuine research need, but they don't just open them up to anyone.
Eventually though I think most of the archive will be released to everyone. I too am eagerly awaiting the Coin World and Numismatic News archives myself. I have a complete set of Numismatic Scrapbook, but would love to have a scanned searchable version as opposed to having to search by memory and hand through decades worth of volumes when I need an article or old ad.
