What are Non-Value Indicator (NVI) Stamps?
"Non-denominated postage" or "Non-Value Indicator" (NVI) Stamps are postage intended to meet a certain postage rate that retains full validity for that intended postage rate even after the rate is increased.
It does not show a monetary value, or denomination, on the face. In many English-speaking countries, it is called non-value indicator (NVI) postage.
Introduced to reduce the cost of printing large issues of low-value stamps to "top-up" old issues, NVI stamps are used worldwide, including in the United States, Canada, and some European countries.
