I don't see any problems.
 
dionebassett

Genuine pocket purse made in 1996. Penny wasn't part of the name.
Just a comment on the seller.

Although I searched the forum and didn't find any posts for dionebassett and her Poshmark listings, I knew the name was familiar and did a bit more digging. And oh boy, did I find her!
It might be interesting reading to see the history:

When Tradesy was Tradesy, I found dozens of fakes listed among Dione Bassett 's 529 Coach listings and made this post in Sept. 2019.

Tradesy is now Vestiaire and she's selling there as Dione - @dionebassett4143470


ETA: Here's just one example of one of her current listings on Poshmark. A seller who sells Coach in such volume as Dione Bassett and dionebassett should recognize a fake as blatant as this one:

Hi authenticators!
I've just received an ebay purchase Court bag (panic bid before authenticating, as nice ones don't come up that often down my way), it looks pretty good to me, but I'd be super grateful if you could check it to be sure. Measurements approx. 9.5" x 8" x 3.25". Serial number H5C-9870.

Sorry, it was a bit tricky to get a clear pic of the creed. There's another one in the listing, if this link still works:

Hello Authenticators,
I recently purchased a Nolita satchel on Mercari. It has a few flaws, but is in otherwise good shape. Will you please take a look, before I release payment?
Thank you

It looks fine.
 
Cheap on shop goodwill but the creed wasn't shown on the listing. I think it's fake but the leather quality is really good so maybe it could be repurposed into something else without the creed or markings. I can't make out the serial but it looks like c6j or c8j which I think J is a Chinese plant code.

Yes, fake.
Personally, I'd return it and demand a full refund.

It would bother me allowing Goodwill to keep the money on an item they never should have sold in the first place.

Just curious - did this one come with a COA?

No, it didn't. I asked for a refund stating the bag is counterfeit. If they don't refund, I'll mark it and then rehab it into something else. The quality is actually fairly indistinguishable from the real thing.
