I think I really don't believe these are samples, they maybe were givin out in coin collecting starter sets by Scott Travis and maybe that is why they got the sample name stuck to them. But since they don't have the word sample on them they belong in anoughter group.
IMO

Yes, I think Alan labels them Promotional Slabs in one of his articles. If I am not mistaken.

Hi Bob
I wrote a piece on this sample,in my world coin article, and as I explain it was part of a kit.
The whol point behind the slab was so the Pearson, or most likley youngster who had the kit had a sample of what a PCGS slabbed coin looked like
You could also say it was a way for PCGS to promote the slabbed coin then it is a promotion slab
If you look at the back of the slab it does not have a hologram. Not all sample slabs say sample, as they can be more than just a sample slab
Al the best
Alan

I bought this on ebay a few monthe ago and though it would fit in nicely with this thread.
I thought it would be a great addition to my sample slabs set as it is kind of a type 10 sample by sampleslabs
