Authentic.
 
Thank you
@whateve will correct me if I'm wrong, I hope. But I've never seen that style of bag OR that strap attachment on any Coach, the hangtag is a total fake, and a metal hangtag would never have been used on a pre-creed bag. There's no way I'd recommend buying it based on what I'm seeing.

The seller also says that " The snap no longer holds well and appears as though it had been tied to stay in place. If you choose to use it as a crossbody you can still tie the strap and hide the tie under the flap." For the price s/he's asking I'd look for something that's still functional WITHOUT tying knots in it, even if this one turned out to be genuine.
I think it looks like#4857 horseshoe belt bag. This catalog page is from 1993. The hangtag is definitely fake. I think the bag could be okay. It isn't pre-creed, just a very small bag that doesn't have a creed.

Thank you both very much, Hyacinth and whateve, I will keep an eye out for a better condition bag.

Hi Authenticators, I got this purse from Poshmark, but I find out that its creed is not in the center, and the font doesn't look right. Could you help me confirm that this purse is not authentic?

Many thanks!

It's fake. Besides the bad creed font, there shouldn't be any hardware from the handle visible on the inside of the bag.
