Acapulco received its first and only consignment of stamps very late. It is believed that the post-office was open for only a few weeks.
Acapulco did not overprint its stamps. Very few stamps were actually used, but none of the unused stamps were returned and none have been found to date, according to Corbett. However, as you can clearly see above, at least one copy has been found unused - it has a green MEPSI certificate. No used copies of the medio real have been found so far, and the other values are quite scarce.
