May I ask for this bag on eBay item # 175726878737 which I just received (I purchased). The hang tag chain is stamped Ball Chain Mt Vernon NY. I could get a clear photo of it. Thank you.

Looking to help. The authenticators need specific info, including a link. Link: https://www.ebay.com/itm/175726878737?nma=true&si=FdExPRg1zyh0jOXSJ4M1uDEYMQY%3D&orig_cvip=true&nordt=true&rt=nc&_trksid=p2047675.l2557 COACH Vintage 9085 Black Leather XL Duffle Feed Sac Bucket Shoulder Purse Bag
We also need seller IDs so histories can be searched.

The bag is good, made in 1996.

Hangtags aren't any help in authenticating, they're not a permanent part of the bag. We would rather have a photo of the creed and serial number from inside the bag.

We also require all the information (applicable to the item) requested in the "IMPORTANT - READ ME" post at the top of each page. When a post at the top of every page in a thread says "READ ME" or something similar and is in the name of an Administrator or Moderator, there is a reason for it.

Thank you @BeenBurned !
I was expecting to see “a number” in the middle part (J “H” M looked suspicious) :smile:
I reported to ebay. Hopefully it gets deleted before anyone buy!!
JHM is one of many semi-common invalid serial prefixes.
 
One last question please, did you see the backward R? That one letter is backward in two words. Is that something that just happens? Thank you very much! I'm being weird I know but I have never seen that before. Thank you so much for your time!

It happens. Coach does make legitimate mistakes. If all other elements are correct, the mistake can be attributed to human error.

This is another example from my records.
