One of my customer who frequents all the local shops weekly, just came in today to show me what he found in a wheat cent purchase he made. 1914-d in AU. Not from my shop, (at least I hope not) but from his travels this week.

Why would you hope he didn't locate this coin from a roll you sold out of your shop?
It can happen. I know because it happened to me, with a bulk Wheat lot bought off BST, back in 2005.
I don't remember which member the coin came from because I'd mixed several bulk lots together, but I found a decent looking 1914 in the mix.
It had a piece of dirt under the date. I removed it with a toothpick.
Yep, you guessed it. "D" doesn't just stand for "dirt".
PCGS gave the coin XF40.
Collector since 1976. On the CU forums here since 2001.

The "hunt" is half the fun!
That's the kind of story that keeps hunting fun and worthwhile!

Kinda obvious if it wasn't sold as an unsearched roll. Would be like you selling a searched roll of Morgans and missing the 89-CC.
we always try to look at as much as we can when reviewing, but things do get missed especially when busy. I like getting a present , but dont want to short anyone either and buy like an 01-s quarter or some other rare coin for melt price.
