Good morning!

Just hoping to get this bag authenticated.

Item: Coach vintage drawstring large shoulder bag

Listing: 233337903416

Seller: cnajclarke

Link:. https://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-Vint...903416?hash=item365405d938:g:J5wAAOSwMSddd~0P

Comments: I'm not all that familiar with the different fonts and wanted to verify this registration number.

It's fake. M4N-4154 is always fake and is in Part 2 of the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List posted here.
https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/salearea-guides.983575/page-3#post-33239575

It's also been asked about a LOT, a search of the Coach forums here has six pages of posts - . More than enough to verify that the "registration number" is always fake. You also need to check the creed for misspellings:

Welcome to TPF.

Please refer to the first post of the thread which says the information we need. If the bag is listed online somewhere, we need to see the seller's ID and a link to the listing.

The NASA items are well-faked so we definitely need more information.

I will say (at least at this point) that if you haven't purchased it yet, please don't.

I'm sorry I didn't do my research before posting! I usually at least check the prefix of the registration number before I ask for authentication. Please forgive me?

Also, just out of curiosity, has Coach ever hyphenated any words in their creeds?

Thanks @Hyacinth! I'll do my best not to waste y'all's time in the future!
 
I purchased this bag from a thrift store and wanted to see if it is real. Thank you in advance!

Dear Authenticators, may I please have this looked at?
Purchased at nearby flea market; supposed to be a Watson? I can redo any pictures as needed.
Thank you so much!
(And if it's real, does anyone have any idea on the color? The second and third pics are the most accurate for color. Thank you again!)

Actually my aunt picked it up at a thrift store and knows I like coach so thought I might like it. Unfortunately I have no other information. I can answer any other questions and/or post more pics if that would help? Thanks again!!

Thanks @Hyacinth! I'll do my best not to waste y'all's time in the future!

Newer styles made in China or during the "China Era" sometimes have words hyphenated and broken up between 2 lines of text, but classic and vintage styles didn't. So
"mark-
ings"
is almost always fake when found in a vintage style like this one. I've seen a genuine bag from 2002 made in the Dominican Republic where "cow-hide" was broken and hyphenated between 2 lines. So it's not a reliable indicator of a fake.

But usually vintage fakes with that mistake will have other more obvious ones. I hope you noticed the "scrtches"? That misspelling is ALWAYS fake, no exceptions. And M4N- prefixes simply don't exist in real life.
