Probably not too often. Many older folks give these coins to the bank. Great find!

Congrats. I've searched lots of pennies and never found an Indian Head. Mark the calendar, it's your lucky day.

The only time that I find any Indians is either in my collection or a dealer's showcase.

Never in a roll.

I've been looking at pennies in circulation for almost 40 years. I don't think I've ever found an Indian cent in circulation.

I had never found one until last week, when I got three in one bank box (1903,1906,1898 which is the only 19th century coin I've ever found in circulation). Went back to that bank and bought three more boxes; no more luck!

I found one (1896) in roll searching Canadian pennies, about 6 months ago.
