PUCH 100 yr anniversary 10 speed ~ value?
I have a 1979 PUCH 100 yr anniversary 10 speed that only has 10 miles on it. Is it worth anything as a collectible? If not, I know that it will still be a great bike to ride, but I'm curious if it is worth more.

How do you know it has 10 miles on it? Did you buy it new and put 10 on it? If so, why? Did you buy it thinking it might appreciate in value?
Sorry for all the questions, but when I read posts like yours, I just wonder.
Post pics, make sure to show all components please and we'll give you some input. Like most companies, PUCH has many models and types of tubing, so we couldn't ballpark anything if our lives depended upon it.
By the way, I recently sold a beautiful fountain pen that commemorated a manufacturer's 100th anniversary. Turns out the company didn't even make it! It was a U.S. based company and the pen was made in Germany. Wasn't I surprised to find that out. What I'm saying is the fact that it is an anniversary issue doesn't mean too much necessarily.

+1 They likely slapped the 100th Anniv. sticker on all their bikes, low-end to high. Marketing gimmick. There have been some manufacturers (Bianchi and Schwinn come to mind) who have issued special edition high end commemorative bikes, but they are the exception rather than the rule.

+1 Marketing gimmick.
+1 A lot of Puch's made by others, I have two Japanese built Puch bikes right now.
+1 Could be any level, entry level on up. Pictures are critical to a meaningful discussion.
+1 Worth more than what? Could be worth $25, could be worth $225.

Old Bike's
I have a Puch 100yr anniversary that I purchased in 1966 used. It says made in Austria and has a pretty fancy plate on the front of the bike. Good bike, seen lots of miles. Paint worn off and the frame is brass colored with chrome on the front fork.
