Answer
Hello Christina.
I've not got a copy of the Collins Bible, but I've been asked about it many times.
They were mass produced copies, MDCCCLIX is 1859, and are probably not worth very much. An antiquarian bookseller will give you a proper valuation.

Expertise

I have a good basic knowledge of British political history, but my speciality is the Kings and Queens of England and Scotland from 927 AD. Please no social history questions, it's not my strong point and I'm unlikely to answer them.
