Welcome.

Your bag is authentic, made in 2002. Coach used a nylon zipper in your bag.

Despite what you might have read online, zipper brand has NOTHING to do with authenticity. Coach uses and used multiple zipper brands. Additionally, because the counterfeiters also read bogus nonsense from online "authenticity" guides, they use both fake and authentic YKK zippers in their fakes.

Thank you so much for your response. I appreciate it.

Although the bag you're asking about is okay, I have a problem with sellers who mix. freezestar sold a fake Hermes Birkin bag (one that would cost between $20K and $100K) for $500.

The bag is fine. It's a top handle pouch and considered an "accessory." Some of Coach's smaller items may or may not have creeds and those with creeds may or may not have serial numbers.

It's genuine, possibly a Convertible Clutch style 9635 from the early to mid 1980s. There's no way to pin it down to an exact year. And this one looks like it might have the shorter 36-inch strap so it would be really hard to comfortably wear it cross-body. I could be wrong but it's hard to tell the length from those photos (Coach had both 36-inch and 44-inch straps available for that style) but If that's how you want to use it, you should contact the seller and ask for an exact strap measurement. Neither length had any kind of buckle adjustment.

Here's the style's page from a 1987 catalog, click on the thumbnail photo to enlarge it:
