Nope it was AFTER 2013, and there was an alert from Hyacinth not too long ago about finding or refinding the lists-Daria's list that were removed too. too. I'm thinking 2015-ish? It is unbelievable the piles of folders all over my house..I'm gonna have another breakdown(nightly occurrence) Aye yiyi-Seriously

 

[SheriDahlin]

No I wish I bought a Brit tan! I don't even remember why or when I bid on it..uh-oh. I'll have to take pics. I thought Hyacinth had written the revised guide om Authenticity Questions forum Could that be where it would be?

I'm curious about this one. I can't find another with the same prefix and font. I don't believe this was made by Coach. I wish these sellers would ask about items before buying them!

Current listing on Etsy:
Seller ProVintageGear: https://www.etsy.com/listing/587952...a_search_query=coach&ref=shop_items_search_51

And this seems to be the original source:
Ebay seller pma7813

It's fake.

Thank you for confirming.

The seller ProVintageGear has been mentioned here before and has even appeared in person, but they don't seem to have learned from their mistakes:
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/page-1750#post-31871285
and
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/authenticate-this-coach.889527/page-1750#post-31872527

There's absolutely NO DOUBT that the bag listed on Etsy is fake. It takes more than just a "Valid" serial number to show a Coach is genuine, and this particular fake's details are more than enough proof. That's not just "defamatory innuendo." as the seller accused, but simple fact backed up by THREE highly experienced Coach authenticators.

There's NO reason why a seller concerned with their reputation can't post photos of their listings before they sell or even buy them for resale!

I hope the owner(s) of PROVINTAGEGEAR" are searching this forum for posts about them, because they still have a problem and always will until they realize that they don't have enough knowledge or experience to determine authenticity on their own.

Another pic from before the date in the fake, so now we have pics showing the genuine creeds from before, during and after the date code.


and another "after"

The 2nd one (Ebay listing) is authentic.

Thank you again so much @BeenBurned ! I pulled the trigger. An excellent condition nearly vintage bag made in the US for just $50? OMG I can’t believe it.

Do you happen to know which plant is the D plant? Also the A1 is January 2001, yes? So in 3 years my new-to-me bag would be considered vintage?
