Mexico 1868 Hidalgo : 02b 6 cents

In this second part of the dotted 6 cent Hidalgo, I 'll present you the variations VI to X.
(for as far as I have examples of the stamps)

Variety 6 VI 

Subtype 6 for this stamp is only to be recognised in combination with a regular 6. cent.
This because the 6 and the CENT is closer to one another than the regluar stamps.
