The first is a customs (aduana) revenue stamp (1885-86) which would, I think, have the port of entry perforated through the stamp and the document to which it was attached. The second is a documents and account books (documentos y libros) revenue stamp (1881). It would be attached to papers or account books associated with financial transactions. This year's series features Melchor Ocampo, a liberal lawyer, scientist, and politician. The third is from the 1880 series of documents and account books revenue stamps. It features Vicente Guerrero, general in the Mexican War of Independence. These latter two stamps have the district name where the stamp was used. In his Mexico's Revenue Stamps (2011), Michael Roberts gives these stamps the following catalogue values: 25 cents, 50 cents, and 20 cents, respectively. I find Mexico's revenue stamps to be quite interesting and often attractive. Love to see more.

I've unearthed another envelope containing a couple hundred 19th Century (Fiscal Revenue??) Stamps. I don't have the reference materials to properly identify them.
