Most mid 19th Century bibles are fairly modest in value - typically retailing less than $100 (and those are in good condition). The stains, repairs and minor losses of this volume are commensurate to age but nonetheless do detract a bit from its value: $40-60
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:
