Thanks for the reply Steve. I have a magnifying glass that has what I believe is a 40x smaller lighted section that I use on every T206 when I get them.
Under the light most T206's show different degrees and areas of a glossy layer and I could be wrong about this but I believe it's some kind of "clear coat" that was applied after printing and not a coated paper stock that was used prior to the printing.

One of the reasons I think it is on the top layer and not "glossy" paper stock is the way it seems to wear off.

Here are three T206's I just purchased the Leifield has the heaviest gloss on upper right edge, the Huggins in the middle right edge and the Raymond doesn't really show any gloss anywhere.

This Beckley I have has a lot of gloss on it.
