#2 and 3 look fine.

For #1, I've seen some very close fakes of style 9813 and I have some concerns with yours. I'd like other opinions from @Hyacinth and @whateve.

It appears that the D plant used several different stamps in 2001 and for March (the month of your bag), the serial is different than other March creeds (different styles) as well as different from other 2001 and different months:

YOUR BAG:
coach C1D 9813 NO HYPHEN creed.jpg

COMPS:
coach C1D-9059 TWO HYPHEN creed & line underscore.jpg coach C1D-9951 TWO HYPHEN creed & line underscore.jpg coach H1D-9813 ONE HYPHEN creed.jpg coach K1D-9813 TWO HYPHEN creed & line underscore.jpg
 

It's impossible to authenticate anything in that post.

Please do it CORRECTLY - one item per post including front, back, photos of the entire length of the inside pocket and of any stampings on the "male" half of any magnetic snap in the bag. Read the instructions in the first post of the thread.

As for the bag in the first photo, the same thing - more photos. There are too many observed variations in creeds from that period to try and authenticate based only on 2 photos. It's probably OK but we need to be sure.

I was able to enlarge and see the pictures in a different browser.
