Is this a PCGS sample slab?

I found this link. There is no consensus, but a good guess is that these were made as promotional slabs (likely by some dealer).

Very interesting. I vote possibly a promo, but not a sample (but sometimes those two get combined).
I have some Vatican City 50 cent coins slabbed by NGC as "BU" (no MS#). They were made for MCM who sold them that way.
I'll bet some retailer shipped off a bunch of low grade 09VDBs to have slabbed like this for some promotion. Probably cost next to nothing to get slabbed.
I agree, the two are a lot of time interchangeable, promos are in a sense samples. I think its cool. For sale?

I haven't seen one like this before.
Never seen that. Now for some reason I want one.
I'd have groin reverse side up.
I like my groin just the way it is.
Hmmm
If each slab has a unique cert number, would that make them non-samples?
Are promo slabs all samples?
Promotional slabs and sample slabs are two different entities.....Keiffer would have given us a dissertation on this issue...Cheers, RickO
I don't know if it's a sample or not but I like it alot!
Would be neat for variety coins to have the picture of what it is doubling, omm, that sort off thing
HAPPY COLLECTING
