It's authentic. Seller is wrong about time frame. It was made between 1989-1993.

Thanks so much!!

Coach vintage Legacy zip 9966

Received this from an ebay seller. does the creed look authentic? It says No G8U-9966. The 9966 is crooked, which makes me suspicious.

Genuine. It was never called a Binocular Bag, but when it was first introduced in 1994 Coach called it a Canterbury Bag. They changed the name to Nottingham Bag early in 1995, which is when this one was made, March 1995 to be exact. Both style names had style number 9948. That type of clasp was called a turnlock.

Information about how to decode Coach's serial number codes in bags that used the new letter-and-number serials that Coach began to use starting in 1994 and continuing into 1996 is explained in both the Creeds and Serial Numbers chapters of the Salearea Coach Guides, the link to the thread is Pinned at the top of many of the pages of this sub-forum (some of the links are to old pages and no longer work):

SaleArea guides

Now that ebay is removing the guides they've been hosting for years, those who use those guides have been forced to either save them on their computers or print them. Tonight I found that the Salearea guides (including the Hyacinth/Salearea collaboration ones) have been saved to Salearea's...

Thank you! I appreciate the info. I will check out the serial number post you linked to.

Hi authenticators!
May I ask for your expertise on this one? I've personally never seen basic bag in green so wondering whether this is legit? Thank you so much in advance for your time!

Comments: real!?
Measurements: 11" x 6.5" x 2"

Yes, it's authentic. Normally we don't need for you to post pictures unless they aren't shown in the listing. If you are going to post pictures, the creed picture is the most important. One of our authenticators has issues with seeing pictures on some of the listing sites so needs at least the creed picture shown.

Thank you
