Really, REALLY stupid question about sample slabs

This question is SO dumb - it will make your head spin! But I need to know for sure.

Do sample slabs contain actual, genuine COINS? Because I'm thinking about bidding on a PCGS sample slab on eBay that holds a 1964 Roosie, and just want to be sure it's not, you know, a fake or reproduction or something. Thanks!

    Yes, they do contain genuine coins. They are generally low value, but often have silver coins in them.

    They don't always contain actual coins.
