Look at this cutie patootie! It's a burgundy leather zip around coin purse. Authentico? And if so, does anyone have info on it, style number or year(ish) of manufacture. It has the Coach cartouche embossed on one side inside and "Made in China" and bullseye embossed on the other interior side. Exterior says "Coach" as well as the little metal piece on the zipper pull. Measures 3.5 x 2.75 x .75

It's fine and is probably some type of Bedford coin purse (early 2000s) but I don't have a style number to provide.

You're correct, it's a genuine Becket Zip, style 9920 but from the early 1990s.

From a 1993 catalog:

@Roxy5705

Although you came here and verified authenticity of this item, we goofed. (Had @whateve not commented on the listing, I would have posted that it looked good to me too.)

For reference, this was the original request you'd posted: https://forum.purseblog.com/threads...ost-for-format.889527/page-5618#post-35771809

But as it turns out, we both were wrong and the Rexy charm you bought on Mercari from DanTheBagMan is fake. If you used a credit card for payment, that's a last resort if Mercari (1st option) or Paypal (2nd option if used) for disputing the purchase.

As has been found during the last decade or so, the fakes have gotten very close, both in bags as well as accessories. In fact, in January, 2019, I started a PM conversation with the other authenticators in which I've been adding "close fakes" so we have pictures of the comps and how close they are for our records. That thread in 4.5 years is 37 pages long - and growing!

In order to avoid helping the counterfeiters (and the sellers of fakes) to make a better fake, I shall avoid pointing out too many differences. There are other differences but the following 2 photos are enough to prove inauthenticity.

But the lightning bolt shows a big difference as does the clip. (Click to enlarge)

@Roxy5705 -- apologies for the mistake. If necessary, refer Mercari and DanTheBagMan here.

DanTheBagMan has a lot of Coach charms. If items have come from the same source, beware.
