The serial number on the slab was 123456789. Now if you know anything about slabbed coins you know where this is going. It was a sample.

I can't find any info on it at all. Is this rare?? Please help as I am new to the PCGS and grading world. </p><p>Thanks!</p><p>Gabe</p><p>YouTube.com/gabeman3000</p><p>Note: I am not wondering if the coin is rare (yes the title is misleading.
