I have a general authentication question. Have you ever seen a half-strike on the serial number of a legitimate old bag (probably 80s)? I'm looking at a bag where the number is clear, but it's about half way down, like they didn't set the dial correctly. You get about half the true number strike, a ghost strike above, and a bit of an overstrike below. Everything else looks ok, even the over-strikes.

It could happen. By the way, we have another thread for questions like these but it is fine to ask here too. https://forum.purseblog.com/threads/answers-to-authenticity-questions.94198/
