Ben Franklin playing with a kite and a key maybe?

This one is certainly not for everyone but it is interesting.

Most of us know what PCI plastic can do to silver over time, this one is very extreme but unique as well.
I've got a little toned PCI box of 20 project going and this one will make it in the box as a novelty if nothing else.
It is beyond my ability to show off a colorful proof, but you get the idea with the last two shots...

    I’ve seen that red coloration before on 62 proof sets, I have one laying around somewhere where the Franklin is all red, but I’ve never seen one like this where the devices are a different color. Do you think it was all red when slabbed and then the PCI insert made it continue to change?

    Looks pretty nice in that pci slab, just saying

    @Mr_Spud
    I assume so, but this one is so different. The blue steel center on the obverse sure is a head scratch.
