How likely am I to find an Indian head cent in circulation?

Question

Lately I have been buying rolls of pennies from the bank and looking through them for the older ones. I look through tons (probably more most people have seen in the same place at the same time). I think it would be really neat to find an Indian head (1859-1909) Or eagle head (1856-58). To put it all in perspective I've looked through $20 today. ALso I have found one from 1913 so that gives me hope. But anyway how common is it to find an Indian head or earlier (I know its rare, but can someone put it in perspective for me) and I know it can happen as well. Thanks for helping.

Answer 1

You may get lucky and find an Indian head oe two. An eagle head is probably one that you will not find. I know a few people that buy rolls of pennies from the bank looking for errors and such. Its a stretch to find the 2 mentioned coins, but either way I wish you luck
