Thank you again @Hyacinth. Very helpful...seller wanted to know what was wrong with the creed. I forgot to even mention that the strap buckle says "solid brass", which I learned can be a sign of fake for newer vintage bags.

Out of curiosity, what year did Coach stop putting "Made in the United States" under the creed message? I did a search and found a bag that was genuine (authenticated here) that had 1995 as the year but still with "Made in the United States" underneath. I had previously assumed it stopped in 1994.

The Made in the United States at the bottom of the creed disappeared depending on the plant. Different plants got the new stamp and started to use it at different times. It started in 1994 but not all plants did it at the same time. Many plants were still using the old stamp in 1995. The only way you would know is if you had a library of creeds.

Dear authenticators, request to authenticate please. Thank you! Also, if I am posting too many, please let me know before I become annoying to you. Thanks!

Item: Side pack
Where purchased or how obtained: thrift store
Comments: Dimensions are 7" height, 6" width, 2 1/2" depth. I thought it may be fake because of the M plant but since Hyacinth's information in post 54,355, I have some hope it may be a real one!
Edit; the files were not attaching but I think I've figured it out! Hopefully the creed photos are clear enough.

Hi! What do you think about this court creed on shopgoodwill? I’m not interested in paying over $75 for the two, but the creed caught my eye. Do you think they meant B instead of 2? Or no one will ever know...

Both bags are authentic. 2 is the correct plant code for Turkey.

Haha. I always get the plant/month codes swapped. But shouldn’t it be letter-number-letter?

@BeenBurned Yes, I know. It was better than I expected from the pics, until I found out it was fake. I know though, some buyers rely on feedback to make a purchase and mine was misleading (with it being a fake). I believe the seller did not have mal intentions so hate that it has gone this direction. @whateve thanks for your info!

Not all plant codes are letters. The month code is always a letter but the plant code can be either. The earliest plant codes were letters, then they started using numbers. All recent bags have a two digit number for the plant code.

Feedback doesn't tell you everything. Some really bad sellers have perfect feedback. When I have a problem with a purchase, if the seller takes it back, I don't leave bad feedback. I'm sure others do the same.
