I was wondering how much a 1768 Encyclopedia Britannica is worth?

If you have an entire actual 1768 set, it may be valuable and you can get a value estimate at an auction house. However, the 1768 set was reprinted in 1971 and was designed to look as the authentic original, stains and all. If you have the 1971 reprint, it is worthless.
How would someone know if they have the reprint?? Other than publisher or copyright dates? If the 1971 version is a reprint, shouldnt it be stated somewhere in the first few pages?
Yes, it should say something like this on Page 2:
