Afternoon In Amsterdam was first pressed on vinyl in 1959. Every vinyl pressing is listed below with its label, catalog number and runout codes, so you can tell an original from a reissue.

12 vinyl pressings of Afternoon In Amsterdam are listed here, from 5 countries.
The earliest pressings are from 1959, in New Zealand. One of them is Columbia 33 MSX. 6005.
Check the catalog number on the label (first-year pressings use 33 MSX. 6005) 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.
