I can't quite get the link to load the pictures but I will definitely read into it. Thank you so much Hyacinth!

A few of the links in the Salearea Guides are old and might not work any more. As the early posts in that threads mention, Ebay removed all the Reviews and Guides written by Ebay members 3 years ago so links to those pages don't work.

Coach courier vintage

Apparently this Coach are very valuable but his one has the serial missing can you help me out ? I algo got a mussette briefcase there in excellent condition.

Thank you!

Coach bags older than about 37 to 40 years old didn't have serial numbers. This one is a genuine Courier Pouch made before serial numbers were used.

Yes, authentic and you're correct that it's made in 1996.

Thank you SO much!! I really appreciate it.

It's authentic. The marks above each digit are overstamping marks, which correspond to the digit on the roller directly above the one stamped. There are two dots for the A over the B, etc. It's an Audrey zip.

Thank you so much! Those over-stamping masks used to make me confused. I thought it might be a “hint” that the bag is counterfeit. I learned a lot from you. Thanks!

You're welcome. There are fakes with overstamping marks but in those the overstamping marks are straight lines above and below each digit, rather than varying depending on what digit should be there.
