Field Notes
Lucky
This edition honors the coin’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. The flip-side of each pack’s backing card contains a heartfelt ode to the cent, with a space to enshrine your luckiest penny, whether it’s a shiny example of 2025’s last batch, or one you found, face-up, on the sidewalk decades ago.
Copper staples bind 48 pages of 60#T Domtar Cougar Natural inside, ruled in copper with faint mint ledger columns; use those vertical columns to add up your change, to mark off a checklist, or simply ignore them for regular ruled writing.
