You are correct. The signature bag is fine but the brown one is fake.

ETA: According to the listing, "Note: Goodwill Industries of Greater Cleveland & East Central Ohio states that this item has been posted in accordance with shopgoodwill.com's policy prohibiting the sale of counterfeit items. If you have any questions or concerns about the authenticity of this item please contact seller directly prior to bidding," but whether they will end the listing is doubtful!

I'm not a fan of Goodwill's response to reports of fakes.

Good news on this. I contacted them and here is their response:
"Kathryn, Hello. Thank you for reaching out! Your are correct, the brown one is counterfeit. We have ended the auction and will relist the black one shortly. Kind regards."

Sorry you were missed. Only certain authenticators are knowledgeable about recent bags. Please wait for one who is familiar with this one.

Sorry.

It looks good.
 
Is this authentic? The numbers seem too similar to each other for it to be real, but I just want to know for sure! Please help!

Hi Authenticators,

I’m not interested in purchasing. It just doesn’t look right and I would never report something without checking first.

Item: supposed to be a city
Listing number: Coach Vintage 70s Leather Turnlock City
Seller and site where listed: miyuki648 reselling from seller artsy234, Poshmark
Link: https://posh.mk/NIf2gJCdWkb
It's not a city. The seller has the name wrong. It's a collegiate.

Requested photos below... not sure why the colour looks grey instead of camel, but hoping it is the lighting. Otherwise I will have a new grey bag :blush: :

It's fine. The bag was made in 2004.
