It depends on how you define "common". Are you likely to find one in any given roll of coins? No. But enough of them do get out that they are readily available and cheap. So in that sense yes they are "common".

Here's one of the US Mint planchet sets I mentioned above. Each packet has a blank cent planchet and a fully-struck cent.

They make for a good educational tool about the minting process, but who knows how many of the planchets get removed from the packet and "released into the wild?"

Yes, I would consider these common
