I'm curious about this one. The serial number and creed don't look right.

None of the stamping is right. Hard to tell if the plant code is a D or a B but the font's not right for either one. The creed stamping is a mess and almost totally unreadable and looks like someone made it in their garage. The "o" in "No" is too high and doesn't match any known 1999 fonts. The too-wide spacing of the words in the creed isn't right either.

ETA - seller says the serial prefix is H9D. I don't have any H month codes but I have both G and J for the D plant,. and they're not even close to this illegible mess.

The seller misuses the name dinky. The current dinky has a kisslock pocket inside. The one without the kisslock is called a turnlock crossbody. Whls doesn't stand for wholesale. I can't think of what it does mean.
Thank you. I'm confused about all the numbers. Are they real numbers so I can look for more with pictures to authenticate? Here is one that says inside it is a special edition remake of a 70's Dinky. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Turn...566168?hash=item3fa533aa18:g:dVgAAOSw7UJbIcP3
 
I don't recommend touchofclass4 (2 ). Two of the 4 pictures are stolen stock images and the other 2 are blurry and useless as far as proving authenticity.

In fact, touchofclass4 also sold in this listing in April. Why someone would buy based on those pictures is beyond me:

Thank you. Here is another one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Turn...566168?hash=item3fa533aa18:g:dVgAAOSw7UJbIcP3 and this https://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Coach-...m=R40&rt=nc&_trksid=m570.l1313&LH_TitleDesc=0 Are these real bags if I find one with clear creed pictures? Are they Dinky copies?
 
This was in a bag of stuff I got at a Goodwill clearance center.. I'm not a handbag person but I'm fairly certain it isn't authentic - but I'd like to check anyways.

Any information you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Ladies, I bought 3 at a rummage sale, here is the first. I wasn't able to photograph the creed. It is L9N-9061 and says made in Mexico?! I've never seen a made in Mexico. It does have a bullseye on the creed. Cream color, approx 9"L x 8"H x 3"D. Also if you don't mind the year & style. Thank youCoach Rambler 001.JPG Coach Rambler 002.JPG Coach Rambler 003.JPG Coach Rambler 004.JPG Coach Rambler 005.JPG Coach Rambler 007.JPG
