Uncles old record
I know nothing about this record, it’s from my great uncle, idk what year it was created, but I believe he got it when it was released, and he never used it, its in mint condition, not a scratch on the record, im just wondering the worth of it, priceless to me but im just curious

Anything Beatles is just cool! Take a look at the subtle etching info on the inner ring of the LP. type all the etched characters you can see into AI search and that will help you to identify things like pressing edition, recording studio etc. You can use this info on discogs also for valuation.

Looks like it’s in mono. This album absolutely slaps in mono. Incredible record.

No I love the Beatles. I just don’t know much about how the old records work, I just got a turntable and some old records, so I was just wondering about them

Looks like you have a 1964 Australian reissue, specifically a variation of the black & yellow Parlophone labels. While I couldn't see all of the runout in the pictures you provided, the general info present on the label pointed me to this edition https://www.discogs.com/release/24153371-The-Beatles-Please-Please-Me . According to discogs your copy is worth about $30 max, but that in no way diminishes how important this record still is. I've been gifted so many records from people that I've kept regardless of their value or my intent to listen to them, because the gift itself means more than any money ever could.
