Om Je Geld was first pressed on vinyl in 1960. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

11 vinyl pressings of Om Je Geld are listed here, from 1 country, released between 1960 and 1962.
The earliest pressings are from 1960, in Netherlands. One of them is Studenten Gramofoonplaten Industrie SGI-EP-004.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SGI-EP-004) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, 4D AA99252▿1 E=1 // 670 and 4D AA99252▿2 E=1 // 670. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.
It depends on which pressing you have and on the condition of the record and its sleeve. Early pressings from the album's home country in near mint condition are usually worth the most; common later reissues are worth far less. Scan your copy with VinylLens to see its value for every grade.
