It's really a very bad fake. Coach never used that lining with the shiny Cs. Items with signature on the exterior won't have signature on the inside. The style number, which is the number after the dash, goes to a different style. The font on the creed is wrong. The creed prefix of M3U appears on many fakes. See how the end of the zipper sticks out and looks sloppy?

It appears to be copying this style: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Coach-1481-...157?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item41967299f5

You can see for yourself that it isn't a very good copy. Make sure you continue to get everything authenticated before purchase.

I am still new to this and can't always tell right away if it looks good or bad. Obviously I am not as good as you seasoned veterans.

I don't recognise them but I'll keep looking. And I sure wouldn't call those things "keychains".

The font doesn't look quite right, and I wonder why the last number 1 in 1941 is worn off more than the other numbers on almost every "keychain".

ETA - technically NONE of the seller's items can be sold as COACH keychains, since even if the pieces are genuine they're still chop-shopped and put together from various bits and pieces. Look at this Completed listing, I don't think any of these pieces was ever made by Coach as part of any keychain:

Item: a purse in my possession
Listing number: none
Seller: none
Link: http://s1382.photobucket.com/user/caemre87/slideshow/

Comments: This was a purchase made a few years ago before I was even aware there was such a site for authenticating Coach purses. I bought this off a local Facebook online yard sale site. I didn't pay much but now I am pretty sure it is a fake. I just wanted you all to be clear that at the time I bought it I was clueless about authenticating.

There is another seller chop-shopping and selling his creations as Coach keychains. I reported him a week ago and his listings are still up.

I find it unlikely that anyone would access to this many "parts."

Please check this one. In my files, the flower has silver hardware. Did they make a brass one too, and does it have the same style number, 94051?

It was available with 3 different color combinations for the flower, and I know at least the Multicolor one was available in either Silver or Brass so the other colors probably were too.

ETA - Just checked, I may actually have the Pink one with Brass but the price tag's not on so it's hard to be 100% sure. I have the Multi with Brass too. The colors of 2 pairs of petals on mine are different than Coach's pic but exactly the same as the one you're asking about. The stock pic looks like this:

Those things have never been sold as free standing items. They've been ripped of purses.

And the other seller Whateve referred to is stevinky and his listings included fake parts. Some hangtags and all boxes and "authenticity cards" were fake. Yet after nearly a week of reports, all the listings are still up.
