When was Symphony No. 9 "Choral" first released on vinyl?

The earliest pressings are from 1958, in UK, Argentina, Australia, Germany and more. One of them is Columbia SAX 2277.

How do I tell if my copy of Symphony No. 9 "Choral" is a first pressing?

Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use SAX 2277, 12050, SAXO 2276/7, STC 91 047/048) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, YAX-71-10 and YAX-71-4. Later reissues often keep the catalog number but change the label design or the runout codes.

How much is Symphony No. 9 "Choral" on vinyl worth?

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.
