I believe that give the fact that you can see the border stripes under the silver that this isn't a silver foil. I believe this is the base layer that is put down for the gold foil to adhere to and the sheet missed the gold foil application. I was aware of some of the pre-production cards missing the gold foil, but had not seen any from the regular set before.
