Question about this slab

Why is the slab date different from PCGS's Cert Verification site?

Nice catch.
Plus, the mintage is zero (?)

The reason is that the mint has been striking and selling modern versions of these old medals which were issued years ago in larger sizes. This one is too large to go into a normal PCGS slab. I believe that it was struck in the 1950s for a collector who supplied silver to the mint to make it. Usually you see these pieces in bronze. This medal was first issued in 1905 when Theordore Roosevelt was inaugurated for his one elected term.

I don't understand what this has to do with a coin issued in 2013 shows 2014 on it's label.

If that’s your question, my short answer is, I don’t know. I have the Theodore Roosevelt Chronicles set, but I have not paid much attention to when it was issued.
