The 100 centavos tipos
The
100 centavos are probably the 4th largest denomination produced, considering the
numbers of stamps. Like for the 50 centavos, the forgers would have liked it had
the demand been higher. But for high-value stamps there was little general
demand. Smaller cities had no demand at all so it would have been foolhardy for
the forgers to manufacture many representative high-value stamps. They pretty
much stuck with Mexico City, Veracruz, Morelia, Queretaro and Saltillo.
So of the 29 offices represented with tipos, only 5 were represented with 100 centavos tipos.
The 100 centavos tipo paper is a dangerous match of the production paper.
