Thank you, @BeenBurned!! Good to know! I have been disappointed in the leather on new bags, thus turning to vintage.

Both are authentic. It's normal for zippers not to match the leather color on some vintage bags.

• Trying to authenticate this bag
• NOT LISTED ONLINE:
  Item: Vintage Coach legacy bucket bag
  Where purchased or how obtained: Purchased at a thrift store
  Comments: Is this bag authentic? It seems like is but then there's a few signs it might not be, the craftsmanship by the buckles & the strap has silver-tone rivets instead of brass. The creed seems legit but hard to read serial; I think it says 53D-5960 ??
• Zip top closure with interior pocket flap
• Has YKK zipper with stoppers at both sides
• buckles are marked solid brass
• THANK YOU!

I don't understand what you mean by a misprint on the serial number? I'm not seeing any problems, the bag is genuine and was made in 1995.
