You are correct. M4N-4154 is a known fake serial number.

"M4N-4154 - Update:

Enough evidence has been found to say that the above serial number is ALWAYS FAKE, no exceptions. Not only was the N plant in the US apparently opened only for a very brief time if it was ever opened here at all, but it had apparently closed long before the end of 1994 (the fake date code is for December 1994). No genuine Coach handbag has ever been found with that 4154 style number. And every bag we've found that number in not only has serious production mistakes and date irregularities and are never the same styles, but so far the creed seems to always have "SCRTCHES" misspelled. (9-16-15)"

It's hard to see in the photos but when you know what to look for the misspelling in the creed is there.

The seller might have been contacted because it looks like the listing was ended early. But it was removed by ebay.

Could you please authenticate this bag? My mom bought it at Plato’s Closet. I found one that looked identical to me. The one I found has a serial or model number on the creed but the one my mom bought does not. She can’t find a little white tag on the inside. I’m brand new to this forum, please let me if i’ve Done this wrong. TIA!

There should be a white tag, probably inside the zippered pocket. You may even have to turn the pocket inside out to pull out the lower corners.

So far, it looks okay but I really need to see that label.

It's authentic but a Murphy, not Willis. It was made in 1996.

It's okay but I can't see the prefix of the serial number (shadows block it) and can't see what year it was made. It's not vintage though. It looks like it says either 2012 or 2013.
