Can sites be given a Page Rank but still be in the Sandbox? Or do Sandboxed sites have a PR of 0 by default?

PR0 doesn't state that the site is in sand box.

I understand that sites with Page Rank 0 are not necessarily in the sandbox, my question is more like...can sites in the sandbox have a page rank?...my site is PR2, but I think I am in the sandbox....

Your site shows up in the Google search results. I would assume it is not in the sandbox. I have also never seen a site in the sandbox with a PR2.
You have 74 pages indexed in Google (not in sandbox)
site:
www.yoursite .com
search that in google for your indexed pages

I have all my pages in the index...but I can search 300+ results in and not find my site listed...type "latex pillow" in Yahoo, and we're listed at #10...bottom of the first page...type "latex pillow" in google...and I can search till the end of time and not find our site listed...that is why I think I'm in the sandbox.
When you get to around 100 in the listings...the sites that come up are pretty much off topic for the typed search term...

Site in the sandbox will still show up as indexed, but they will rank lower in SERPs.
