Question on T205 Green Borders

[BobC]

I've never heard of T205 cards where the gold paint on the border never got applied but, is that something that did occur, and if so, how rare is that? I know the gold paint easily chips off but, I've never seen one where there was absolutely no residual gold still showing. I was looking to acquire one of the tougher variation cards and though I don't have it in person to scan and share, it appears that the entire border is just a dark green color with absolutely no evidence of any gold flake ever having been applied. I know the T205 set has been reprinted but, I thought the borders on those were always more of a gold color and not a flat, dark green color, which makes me think it isn't a reprint. The card is not in perfect shape and does have a lot of wear and tear but still, I would think there should be some small. minute amount of gold on the borders to show it is authentic. Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated, thanks.
