I was adding catalog numbers to my Steiner Hong Kong pages for the litho varieties. Steiner provides a space for a $1.60 and $5 issue that are not listed in my 2016 Scott. I checked other online sources and do not see a $1.60 litho variety but I do see several varieties for the $5 in Michel (litho unwatermarked, litho watermarked, and then phosphor variations.
Can someone confirm the status of the $1.60 and what Scott now lists in a later catalog?
I also would like to know how to confirm gravure vs litho. The screens on these are coarse so the "check the smoothness" of the letter may not work. I went back through what I had and two ($1.30 and $3.10) have phosphors bands. This may be a clue too.
