John,
Mine has a glossy front. All but one or two of the twelve known have the glossy front. I have seen one that does not; it is considered to be the best known copy. Rob Lifson thought it was some sort of proof when I talked with him about it seven or eight years ago. His reasoning was the lack of gloss and the fact that it looks handcut (well done, but hand cut). I have heard of another example without gloss, but have not seen it personally.
