13 vinyl pressings of Dynasty are listed here, from 6 countries, released between 1971 and 1983.
The earliest pressings are from 1971, in US, Canada, France, Italy. One of them is Verve Records V6-8802-2.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use V6-8802-2, 2610 003, SVL 52027, SVL 52028) and the codes etched in the runout groove, then compare them with the pressings listed above; for example, V6 8802-2 MGS 2664 and V6 8802-2 MGS 2665. 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.
