10 vinyl pressings of Turn! Turn! Turn! To Everything There Is A Season are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1969 and 1970.
The earliest pressings are from 1969, in US, UK, Canada, France. One of them is Elektra EKS-45680.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use EKS-45680, EKSN 45077, 45680, INT. 80214) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, EKS-45680-A and EKS-45680-B. 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.
