Thank you for the quick response. Just out of curiosity is the 7757 a legitimate serial number for this style bag. I noticed a bunch of other bags listed in this style with the same number. They did say made in China instead of USA though.

Yes, it is a valid style. K3H is never a valid prefix. The lining is wrong too.

Thank you once again. Im usually really good at catching fakes, but I guess I didn't check the details close enough or should have came here before listing it. I will add the K3H to the list of prefixes / numbers to avoid. Your help has been greatly appreciated.

This is further proof of why we say that calling Coach and/or doing an ebay or Google image search isn't a dependable way of confirming authenticity.

The counterfeiters can an do (sometimes) use legitimate prefixes and style numbers on their fakes. (Case in point: See the "Italian" made bag Catbird9 posted and asked about above. Both the prefix is "valid" and the style number seems to be correct for the bag.)
