Evening All! Hope all of you Coach Detectives are doing well tonight!

This looks wrong to me because the style number of the bag 5130 should be in the serial number. Is that correct?
Searched here and on ebay (Daria and Hyacinth) lists for this serial number 0250 216.

Looks fine.
Bags made before 1994 will have a random all numeric style number, and the style number won't be part of the creed, unless by coincidence.

Reading the Salearea Coach Guides on Creeds and on Serial Numbers posted at Ebay that I researched would have explained the history and format of Coach serial numbers in detail and why the serial number wasn't the same as the style number. I'm sure I posted the links to those Guides here very recently.

Yep, post 25800:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/page-1720#post-31803771

I strongly suggest saving those links.
