All but the 2R stamps from the fifth period are rare, due to the large number of stamps returned at the end of the issue. The returns obviously included some stamps from the previous period or periods.

Stamps cancelled in Zacatecas itself are surprisingly scarce, since many of the stamps were sent to the sub-offices.

Corbett found just eight copies with the long name AGUASCALIENTES. The small name overprint ZACATECAS is scarce, being used only for a few months on stamps from consignment 82-1866.
