Margins are mostly good, though some stamps are touching or cut into at the bottom. As the Conservatives were about to take Zacatecas, the postmaster left the city and temporarily relocated to Aguascalientes; he brought the stamps but not the overprinting device, resulting in all the stamps being overprinted manually.
