T218 Tolstoi Harry Stone question

Has anyone ever seen a T218 with i can only describe as an "extra" layer of color. The card i am speaking of is a Harry Stone. Mine appears to be like all the other Stones i have Except in many areas on the front it has highlights of what appears to be "gold leafing" tiny speaks of gold color over most of the background and hair. But not at all on the skin areas of the card. The card stock looks right and nothing else is out of the ordinary other than it may have a slightly shinier finish than many t218's you see.....The only reason i care is that it is a TOLSTOI back. Do you think it is a reprint? OR were there variations of the printing of these that are originals.....I have 4 of these and all 4 have slightly differet color pallets....but this card is totally unlike any of the other 3 in regards to the gold color over the top of normal green, red, blue, black color prints. I tried a scan but you could not really see it well....so i could email a pic to you if someone can help.
Thanks,
Zach

Never heard of anything like it but I have seen printing flaws on T218 where what appears to be a fine "spray" of a color is all over the card front.
