FAKE, the serial font is completely wrong. The H should be larger than the other letters, and the underscore in "No" is the wrong length.

Yes, it's fake.

Thanks ladies, will report!

Comments: This looks wrong to me. I know this is a trusted seller but I also know she's had a recent fake keychain removed. If this is fake, is it possible she just doesn't know??

Please check a Coach purse on ebay, it looks authentic but want to be sure. Thank you!

Nwt Coach Signature Purse #10125 Striped Apricot

HORRIBLE fake!

Since when are any of those colors even remotely close to Apricot? And style number 10125 is one of the most highly faked Coach numbers in history. We NEVER recommend buying that style on any secondary market such as auctions, thrift shops, yard sales, etc because somewhere between a fourth to a third of the bags in circulation with that number are fakes, and sometimes very accurately-copied fakes too. This is actually one of the LESS accurate fakes I've seen.

The seller is also violating Ebay rules by including a Disclaimer Of Authenticity. PLEASE REPORT, EVERYONE!

I'm late to the party and as such, missed the listing as it was removed. But luckily, I found a cache of the listing. We can watch to see if the seller relists it.

Yikes! She listed the bag at $169.00!

That particular fob is authentic but I can't find a style number for it.

It's not in my files but that doesn't prove much.

Found it!! Style 1643.

WOOOOOOOWWWW. Color me impressed!

Thanks BB. I'm glad to know it's authentic. I'd like to think the 1 fake she had listed was just a simple oversight on her part.

I think she mostly lists brand new styles and isn't familiar with the older fobs she has listed recently. Now that she has had a listing removed, hopefully she will figure out she needs to authenticate.

Thanks!

This is mine. I've had it for a while and I don't remember where I got it...probably eBay or Bonanza. Anyway, I'm done with it. Just want to know if I should toss it {fake} or sell it {authentic}. Thanks in advance!

It looks okay. Other opinions are welcome.

ETA: Style 66398. I believe it's a MFF style.

Please authenticate. I waited until I received it because the entire creed wasn't pictured. The handles are absolutely black, which did not show up in the photos. Grrrr.

Please wait for others.

Am I reading "full CRAIN leather" or is it an illusion? Every other 9994 has a much more defined G.

I will try to see if I can enhance the letters with something. All the G's look like C's because it is so faint, very hard to tell.

It looks like a C to me too, but everything else checks out. I think it is authentic, and it is probably so faded that the line of the G is almost gone.

You can scrub the handles or very lightly go over them with fine steel wool to remove some of the black gunk.
