Field Notes' Spring 2026 edition honors the penny’s legacy by mimicking copper’s enduring shades of wear: the orangeish-pink “Rosewood,” the well-worn, dirty “Mocha,” and the oxidized green patina of “Mint” Mohawk Mosaic 100-lb cover stocks. Each cover is stamped with metallic copper foil and embossed on the back with the penny’s three distinct obverse designs: stalks of wheat, the Lincoln Memorial, and the Great Seal.
