Common indeed.  They're the longest-running II produced by Apple:

Although the chart shown is probably correct that the platinum //e is the 
longest-running II produced it may not be completely accurate as to the 
length of time others before it were produced.  For instance the chart shows 
the II ending when the production of the Apple II+ (first quarter of 1979) 
but in fact the Apple II was actively marketed well into 1980 (third quarter 
and maybe longer) along with the Apple II+.
