PCGS Doily Samples - Were Roosevelt Dimes the only coins used?

Just curious. I sent David Schwager, Slab Collectors Society, an email asking this since I am not sure if he lurks or is a forumite here, and thought that I would throw it out here as well. I saw a PCGS Doily Mercury dime and wondered if Roosevelt Dimes were the only Doily Samples used.

Thank you for your interest and comments.

Pretty sure @davidschwager is or was around the forums, so here's a tag for him.

A quick look at around 165 eBay listings via Worthpoint, and every single PCGS Doily Sample was a Roosevelt dime.

To my knowledge, they are all Roosevelt dimes.

Are they valuable??

No. We've typically sold them in the $25-29 range.

They sell for $400+ on ebay.

I'd try to buy all the Doily Samples at the price!

I received an email from David and he said;

Yes, all PCGS doily samples have Roosevelt dimes. Most are 1964-D, but occasionally other 1957 - 1964 dates appear. 

I thought it would cool if a Mercury Dime slipped in Doily Sample run.

Oh, good grief. I was looking at our non-doily sales records. My apologies, @Walkerlover, for the misinformation. We've sold only one doily Roosevelt sample and it was listed for $450. Thanks for the heads up, @oih82w8!
