MEXICO

By far the office where most of the tipo usage has been recorded. Mexico City usage is approximately 85% of the total. Probably even higher for the high-value stamps such as the 50 centavos and 100 centavos stamps. However stamps produced with Mexico overprints appears to be only about 4% of the overall production. This changes with the high value stamps. For 50 and 100 centavos values, Mexico would be a much higher percentage of the total production, especially 100 centavos.
