Please authenticate - I admit I am only looking on my phone so, aside from seller feedback, I didn’t see alarming things but as always I want to confirm. I am curious abt the missing portion of the border on the creed stamp above the number - whether it’s a result of just natural variation or a sign of a faked stamp.

I need help authenticating this Coach purse. Got this at Goodwill today for $10.
Thank you very much

It can't be authenticated with just those photos. We need to see photos of the entire bag, front, back and at least one side. There's no need for closeups of things like seams unless we ask for them. If the bag has any magnetic snaps we need photos of the "male" piece, the one with the stampings, so we can clearly read what the stamp says. If any of the metal hardware such as buckles, strap clips, zipper pulls, etc, are stamped with the Coach name we also need to see those. DON'T waste time trying to take photos of the name stamped on the zipper mechanism since that doesn't prove anything about authenticity.

See Post number One in this thread for more details and follow whatever instructions fit the situation..

The creed stamp is fine, those missing bits can happen if a stamp was damaged or if some kind of debris got between the stamp and the bag.

I will need to switch to my phone to take pics of Creed and Made in China tag. Should there be a 1941 symbol like I have seen on Rogues? There is not one under the side tabs, thanks.
Approx 14 1/2” by 8 “ by 6 1/2 “
Let me know what else you need!

It looks fine to me.

If you search, the other Ace bags (style 37212) show just the horse and carriage stamp too.
