From a GM's perspective....
If I were to make a cold iron weapon with:
+2 Weapon Potency,
Greater Striking
containing the Anarchic & Corrosive Propriety Runes
How do I work out it's Price and Level (this is a weapon found in the game)
Do I just add up all the levels and Gold
or only take the highest number?
The book talks a lot about here's the cost for a item with this on it
but doesn't seem tell you how multiple runes are combined
Or do you have to simply go through the crafting process like a player to get it's price?

Level: highest
Price: combined prices of weapon and all runes.
The question of whether or not you need to consider the cost of crafting is not clearly answered in the book, but for a wepaon to be found in game, I likely wouldn't.
I assume you are talking about a weapon found as Loot? In that case you would add all of the runes/materials etc... prices together when determining how much of a reward the weapon is.

So, e.g. let's take a +2 greater striking anarchic corrosive standard grade cold iron longsword:
* precious material cost: standard-grade cold iron weapon; Level 10; Price 880 gp + 88 gp per Bulk (CRB p.599)
* +2 greater striking weapon; Level 12; Price 2,000 gp (CRB p.600)
* anarchic rune; Level 11; Price 1400 gp (CRB p.583)
* corrosive rune; Level 8; Price 500 pg (CRB p.583)
So overall:
Level: 12 (CRB p.580:"The level of an item with runes etched onto it is equal to the highest level among the base item and all runes etched on it")
Price: 4868 gp (for 1 bulk)
