The first 4 are not listed in the Celis Cano catalog; they are clearly fakes. The rubberstamp overprint style was used in both Sonora and Veracruz. The rubberstamp overprint does not match Celis Cano for the first 4 stamps.
The last 2 stamps could exist but the overprints here do not match what is shown by Celis Cano, either, so they are forgeries. |

According to Scott Catalog, in 1914, the Regular Issue of 1910 is overprinted with the large GCM. Also in 1914, the Regular Issue of 1910 is overprinted with the G$C. There is no listing for the Denver Issue having the large GCM. There is no listing for the double overprinted stamps shown. I understand the problem with the "$". |

Quote: There is no [Scott] listing for the Denver Issue having the large GCM. That is Scott. Celis Cano lists many other revolutionary era overprints which were locally issued, which would normally be ignored by Scott. Why Scott chooses to list the Large GCM (and the Merida issue under "provisionals") is maybe due to them being listed early on and never removed. Or perhaps they were proven used and accepted on mail generally. Ask Scott. |

Nobody here read or studied assiduously the complexities of Mexican stamps and their unique characteristics .The forgeries out there has already been accepted as the real thing . It would take a impressive library of catalogs and clippings from the philatelic press the world over to understand plus have all the major works on the subject .
Trying to identify the revolutionary overprints ,surcharges and cancellations without the works of the "Special Committee of the Mexico-Elmhurst Philatelic Society " is just a joke ,No catalog can help because it is not accepted that their illustions are not counterfeit to begin with . |

Rod, all issued stamps had the state name, etc. as a control. Those without are reprints/remainders. There are many forgeries of the overprints.
The gothic-style "Mexico" is the state name struck at the same time as "111" (control/consignment number) and "1865" (year). It is the state (mostly) surrounding Mexico City. Mexico City itself was later the Distrito Federal (D.F.) up to 2016, much like the US's District of Columbia.
The cancel here is upside down and has JUL (Julio/July) with MEXICO on the bottom. |

Thank you both, gentlemen. I think I'll print out your reponses, and paste in the opposing album page, for reference. I understand the complexities of Mexico, but going by Scott, I just presumed the Gothic overprint did not occur on my examples.
Thanks for explaining the JUL
