Rainbow proof statehood quarter

I just sent off to PCGS for a crossover a 2000-s silver Massachusetts state quarter with obv and reverse rainbow/colorful toning. It looks to be natural and authentic but I can't imagine how a coin less than three years old could get this way?? It is in an ANACS holder now and graded PR67-CAM and I suspect it is not a DCAM coin because of the toning.
The toning has plenty of blues and reds and purple and similar to rainbow toned coins I have from the 1950s and 1960s. The pattern of toning on the coin is haphazard and also lends itself to being authentic and not deliberate or artificial.
Of course I will let you know about the crossover results.
An immediate question: are there other colorfully toned state proofs out there -- authentic and not artificially toned? And does anyone know the source of the toning?
Im stumped on this one.
cheers, alan mendelson
