PX-10 identification ?

Hello everyone

I bought this bike a few years ago (for €45, about the same in dollars at the time) and i'm now trying to identify it, ie guess what year it's exactly from and what it's actually worth.

From a few web searches i've gathered that it's most likely a PX-10 from the late 70's. It's lovely to ride !

If any of you forensic bike analysts can give me a more precise judgement on the matter that's be great !

1977 PX-10. Assuming that is the original factory-stamped serial number, the leading "7" is the last digit of the year. The diagonal "531" sticker separates the PX-10 from the "3 tubes renforces" PR-10/PKN-10.

Tres cool!

Thanks a lot ! I hadn't come across the S/N trick in my search...

How collectable is it exactly ? Seems to be a common model ?

It is top-of-the-line and prized by collectors.
