Are these some kind of sample slabs?

This seller is selling off a bunch of these coins in PCGS slabs, but they appear to only
be authenticating the coins, nothing else.
Nothing derogatory, just curious about the slabs themselves.

Yeah - they're kinda like sample slabs to show off the holder and such - Cameron should be thrilled to see these.

These were part of a Coin Collecting Kit package that was sold some years back.

They are listed as sample slabs and they are a dime a dozen!!

PCGS 10 on my website:



<< <i>This slab was once thought to be scarce. It might still be semi scarce if no one saved them, but recently I found out from David Hall who told me “These were an item in a Random House marketed Scott Travers "Coin collecting starter kit. "I believed we did either 50,000 or 100,000 of them.” If this is the true production numbers, this is the largest number of samples made for any time from any of the services! Most samples don’t even have 1,000 made of one type.

The Back of the slab is Green and white and does not have the hologram. The dates I have seen range from 1918 through 1929 and each coin is in Fine through Extremely Fine condition. Group lots of 4-8 of these samples can easily be found. This type could still be a challenge for a “short set” of sample slabs by trying to get one of each date.
