Revisado

1883 10 cuartos on 1880 2 centavos de peso, green surcharge
1883 1 real on 1878 10 cuartos Derecho Judicial stamp, green surcharge.
Inverted surcharge!
1883 20 centimos on 1880 8 centimos de peso
1887 8 centimos on 1883 2 4/8 centimos de peso
The "Re" on these stamps spelled Revisado entirely on two attached stamps. These were handstamped on surcharged issues of the 1880's.

Revisado in my dictionary means "to revise" and the handstamp denoted a revision of the surcharge back to the original face value of the stamp.
