You mention the "table" I was asking about. Is it on the site anywhere (NVI absolute values since launch).
By "table" I was thinking of the rates tables -- i.e. a 1st class NVI was worth whatever they say the rate was at the time, so a list of NVI values would be basically a truncated version of that. Worth thinking about though -- is there a quick reference list of what types of NVI have been issued, or is it a trawl-through the catalogue?
Offhand these are the ones I can think of:
1st
1st large
2nd
2nd large
Recorded Delivery
Recorded Delivery large
Special Delivery 100g
Special Delivery 500g
Airmail postcard
"E" rate (was that Europe? it's been a while!)
What am I missing?

Recorded Delivery would not really fit the bill. Surprisingly enough there has never been a specific Horizon for Recorded Delivery - something the Post Office has not thought of yet! It must be a large first class letter otherwise the 1L would be wrong.
I wouldn't be entirely confident that a clerk would always select the correct service on the machine, mind you, especially if it was a non-standard value like a RD fee. I'm not sure exactly how they work (should pay more attention really), but wouldn't they have to type a 74p value in? If so, and there was some software limit to stop you typing in an "impossible" value that was too high or low, then using the "1L" setting might even be necessary to get that value?
