Hello Authenticators,

Item: Coach Coin Purse/ Keychain
Listing number: m28716596466
Seller: DJ Jones
Link: https://www.mercari.com/us/item/m28716596466/

Comments: Please authenticate this Coach item. TIA.
Some may take issue with my comment since it's not directly related to the listing you're asking about but personally, I am uncomfortable recommending sellers and listings when the seller lacks ethics.

Mercari isn't a site that is proactive in responding to reports of fakes and as such, there are lots of them there and there are sellers who know they can get away with selling fakes.

DJ Jones sold this fake Louis Vuitton set with an authenticity disclaimer and a price that indicates she's well aware that it's fake.

Definitely fake. Not only is the serial number font too thick, but that fake has a 1994 year code but the style wasn't even introduced until Fall 2000.

There ARE a few "4" year codes in genuine bags from 2004 but they're all from Costa Rica. This isn't one of them.
Thanks, I did notice the year and that it says Unites States for P plant. For this style, I think I saw more fakes than authentic bags.
