The value 15 c was overprinted with 'GOBIERNO $ CONSTITUCIONALISTA' in 1914 (RR).

Some squarish 'GCM' overprints exist on these stamps (on the 1 c lilac, 2 c green, 3 c brown, 5 c orange, 15 c blue and orange and 20 c red and blue; on the 5 c orange and the 15 c blue and orange there also exists a slightly different type of overprint) made in 1915. All these overprints are very rare on these stamps:

(Squarish 'GCM' overprint on 5 c and 20 c)

The values 5 c orange and 15 c also exist with 'G.P.DE M.' overprint in a fancy pattern. This overprint was applied in 1916. This same overprint was also applied together with the squarish 'GCM' and small fancy 'GCM' overprint on the 5 c value. All these stamps are rare (RR).

These stamps exist with overprint 'OFICIAL' to be used as official stamps, example:

Two different kinds of the 'OFFICIAL' overprint exist.

1899 Various designs, falls, mountains and cathedral

  50 c lilac and black
  1 P blue and black
  5 P red and black

vc = very common
c  = common
*  = not so common
** = uncommon

*** = very uncommon
R   = rare
RR  = very rare
RRR = extremely rare

These stamps exist with two different kinds of 'OFICIAL' overprint (issued 1900 and 1910). The 5 P exists with 'G.P.DE M' and 'OFICIAL' overprint (RRR).

I have seen the 50 c and 5 P values with a squarish 'GCM' overprint (this could be bogus):

1910 100 years of independance, various persons and designs

  1 c violet (Josefa Ortiz)
  2 c green
  3 c brown
  4 c red (Juan Moama)
  5 c orange (Miguel Hidalgo)
  10 c blue and orange (Allende)
  15 c violet and red
  20 c red and blue
  50 c red and black
  1 P blue and black
  5 P red and black

vc = very common
c  = common
*  = not so common
** = uncommon

*** = very uncommon
R   = rare
RR  = very rare
RRR = extremely rare

Stamps with overprint 'E.G de M' are of private origin. Other 'dubious' overprints exist, such as: 'GBNO CONST', 'Gob. Cons.', also 'GOBIERNO CONSTITUCIONALISTA' different from the ones listed below (some with extra letters added).

All the above stamps exist with 'OFICIAL' overprint. Also with 'OFICIAL' and 'G.P.DE M' overprint at the same time.

('OFICIAL' overprint on 5 P)

These stamps exist overprinted with large 'GCM' in fancy letters (=Gobierno Constitucionalista Mexicana' in red, violet, green or black. Three types of this overprint seem to exist:

(Inverted violet 'GCM' overprint on a 5 c stamp)

  1 c violet 
  2 c green
  3 c brown
  4 c red 
  5 c orange 
  10 c blue and orange

  20 c red and blue
  50 c red and black

The whole serie (except 4 c) exists with manual overprint 'GOBIERNO CONSTITUCIONALISTA' diagonally in violet (1914), example:
