Vinyl pressings

3 pressings came out in 1962, the album's first year. Compare the label and catalog number on your copy, then the codes etched or stamped in the runout groove (the dead wax around the label): they are the surest sign of an early pressing.
Not sure how to read the runout? See matrix numbers, runout and dead wax and how to tell a first pressing.
By decade, oldest first. Open a pressing for its full label, barcode and runout details.

10 vinyl pressings of Symphony No. 4 In E Minor are listed here, from 7 countries, released between 1962 and 1971.
The earliest pressings are from 1962, in UK. One of them is His Master's Voice ASD 461.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use ASD 461, ALP 1894, ST 932) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above. 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.
