It's okay.

It's a relatively common error that happened when the person stamping the serial numbers didn't turn the dial to the hyphen and instead stamped a number.

Item name: Coach crescent Berkeley bag (?) in chocolate brown, suede and pebbled leather.
Comments: In my collection. Bought from a GW last year. Bought at the same time, another just like it but that second one had no Coach markings at all and was slightly larger. I am unable to provide dimensions for that second one, my daughter is using it. Were any Coach bags made without any Coach markings? I have a briefcase that looks like Coach but no
markings. Thank you!

The bag shown is authentic.

Post pictures of the other without Coach markings. It's possible that it's designer/Coach inspired but pictures are needed to make semi-accurate assessments.

Madison H1275.jpg Dear All, could you please authenticate the Madison purse that I purchased (as a lot of 3 coach items)
Item: MADISON TOTE IN COGNAC LEATHER #20466
Listing number: 202552324140
Seller: hell-bent-4-leather
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/LOT-OF-3-C...2d1SrHwIuw%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc

Inserted here is the creed. The seller is reputable, but the photo of the creed seems to show uneven stitching on the bottom right corner. Also, the creed number line has "Nᴼ" rather than "№". More pictures on the listing link above. Thank you!

The bag is fine.

I don't know what you were comparing this bag to but you must do apples to apples. Your comp should be from another bag from the same year (2012) and same factory (75).

Here's a creed from the same style bag as yours, this one made 1 month earlier:

Not a city bag. It could be a convertible clutch. I can't tell for sure without seeing the corners and the inside pocket.

It was called a Berkeley saddle bag.

If a bag doesn't have any Coach markings, it is doubtful it was made by Coach.

Ok when you receive it please post the pics of the kisslock hardware and the Made in tag and the key clochette. I've seen some scary fakes out there. Here are the measurements from Coach for the black quilted Rogue. View attachment 4292388

Hi @houseof999! I just got the bag and am pretty positive this is authentic based on my other rogues and 1941 bags, but just following up with the pics. Thanks for your help!

Thanks in advance for your help authenticating this!

Item: Vintage COACH USA - 9988 Black Crescent Hippie Saddle Bag Cross body bag

Fake!

And dian_rain (dian rain) has had many fakes going back to 2015. In fact, in October, 2017, there was another report of a fake with J8P as the serial prefix. I'm betting it was the same bag and she relisted again!

ETA: here's a previous post on the seller:
