Cool new Rattler Sample Slab from my LCS…..and a question for the experts

Picked up a gorgeous PC65 shield nickel yesterday at my LCS that upgraded my type set. Often times the guys at the shop will toss little stuff into larger transactions that they think I’ll like or appreciate. My LCS is the best.
So yesterday they asked me if I wanted this and of course said yes please and thank you. I’ve had a couple sample slabs before and think they’re cool, especially the early ones like this.
Since getting it home yesterday I’ve come to realize that I think this is the first “P” minted Roosevelt I’ve seen in one of the rattler samples. Upon googling, I see various summaries that mention “all” gen 1.0 and 2.0 (as this one is I think) were 64 Ds.
Curious if any of our slab collectors here know whether are many other Roosevelt “P”s out there in Rattler 1.0 or 2.0 sample slabs……and just wanted to share since I thought it was pretty neat.

I have a couple of rattler sample slabs but I don't remember if they are P or D dimes. I'll have to check this evening.
Collector, occasional seller
I'm not slab collector but there is a 64 P for sale on eBay right now (not mine, nor affiliated) and if you look at completed items there are three additional 64 P slabs.
Here is one that is a 1964 "P" sample in a rattler.

Cool. Didnt think I’d stumbled on anything too crazy….but became curious after realizing there do seem to be a multitude more Ds out there.
Not sure how I missed the ones on the Bay.
Thanks for chiming in guys!
I have a sampler with a 62 p dime in it. Its good to have
Something that you will see with the Rattler holder samples is that you can build a date set with all of the coins having a PCGS number "5120". PCGS number 5120 is for a 1960 dime. You can also build a date set with the Coins that have the correct PCGS number on them. You can find both versions of every date except for the 1964-D which only has the coin number 5129 (no 5120 for the 1964-D) .
