Good afternoon, I found a bag yesterday shopping at a flea market. It seems authentic to me but I've been wrong before. If anyone has a minute could you tell me what you think of this handbag. I would love to know the name too. The strap drop is about 18.5 inches on the shortest buckle at the middle of the bag. Thank you very much.

Hello Authenticators! I hope you can help me with this one, as I have a bad feeling that I got snookered. This was a purchase a recently made on Ebay and i will post the link with hopes that you can still see the listing, additionally I have take photos of my own to show the areas that have given me pause.

Item: Refinished Coach70's Vintage Penny Pocket Flap Tan Leather Crossbody Bag purse (Also, I realize now that the purse is really a Convertible Clutch)
Listing number: 125257565706
Seller and site where listed: mamazack, Ebay
Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/125257565706?nma=true&si=FvadvlCbQMkm83%2FIRmdJii%2BC0PA%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557

These are the items that give me pause because I have never seen them on authentic Coach bags before:
1) Notice in the listing that the on the 4th pic, the zipper pull is concealed, I did not notice it when I saw the listing I was focused on the writing and what process I could use to remove it. See my pic attached.

2) on the Creed, the last word is LEATHERS, versus LEATHER.

3) Lobster claws has an anchor engraved on them.
4) the D rings on the side of bag

Please help, I've been "vexed" ever since I opened the package yesterday.
Thank you in advance!
The bag is authentic.

For the record, seller calls it "Penny Pocket," which is an invalid name of a Coach style. But it's not a pocket purse either, as a pocket purse has a back pocket.

Sorry, it's fake. The serial number isn't valid. And the style number belongs to a different bag.

The "B1N-" and "BIN-" serial prefixes are mentioned in the Daria48 Fake Coach Numbers List posted toward the end of the Salearea Guides thread, starting here:

THIS is a genuine style 9406:

Thank you for the information, it was only 10 bucks and the leather is soft and very supple, I will enjoy using it anyway. Thanks again.
