sorry we can't determine it from the number alone. If the pictures are on your computer, you should be able to attach them to your post using the paperclip icon.

I think I managed to attach one photo. Will upload the next one later.

Sorry I wasn't able to attach both pictures to the same post. It had probably something to do with the size. It did upload after I cropped them.
Thank you again for your help.

It looks authentic. It looks like a court bag #9870 made in the early 90s. It looks beautiful.

Oh, thank you so much! You made my evening .
The leather on the front of the bag is kind of wrinkled. Should I dunk it, moisturized it, or just do nothing? What would you suggest?
Thanks again

I have a couple of signature bags and one non signature that I'm watching right now. I'm not too familiar with "modern" coach bags but from what I've read, they all seem authentic except the first one. Any help is appreciated!

Comments: From my understanding I think this is not authentic due to the placement of the logo C's on the bottom of the bag. I'd like to confirm whether that's true?

Thank you!!

1- i think you got some bad information. The position of the Cs at or ON the bottom of the bag doesn't mean a darned thing with most Coach styles. Neither is it important for the Cs to match up on the side seams - they often don't especially on bags with curved sides. The alignment that's most important is along the vertical center or center seam, and not all styles will line up even then.
But without an actual READABLE photo of the creed patch and serial number, the bag can't be positively authenticated.

The other ones seem ok but please wait for more opinions, I usually don't have verified photos for newer bags.

Thank you Hyacinth. I'll wait for another authenticator and also asked the seller to provide a photo of the creed for the first bag.

Hello everybody. I really need your help I just bid on this bag on a local Facebook bidding group and I'm having second thoughts and worries now looking at the number on the creed I'm trying to Google it I'm not having any luck it also doesn't have a letter in the beginning section which I thought indicated the month the bag was produced and I am In desperate need of your help before I go and pick this up and spend money on it. Please if you can help me I really appreciate it I don't have a lot of photos but I do have a very clear picture of the creed and any help you can give me would be very much appreciated

I'm sorry to say that I can't figure out how to put up more than one picture so I'm giving you the picture of the creed I will reply to my iMessage with the two additional photos I have please if anybody knows anything and can get back to me before I have to go pick this up that would be amazing thank you and advance for all your hard work and help

When I Google 19182 this is the same bag as she has described on the bidding group with the same number it's the same style but it's the only one I can find when I Google the style number and normally you find all kinds of bags when you Google the style number

I don't see any problems with #1 or any of the others either. Ideally, a picture of the creed for #1 would confirm but at this point, there's nothing that indicates that it's not authentic.

That's great to hear thank you BeenBurned!

In order to authenticate the bag, we'd need to see at least another picture showing what the bag looks like.

The first letter of the serial number you've posted is J. Although you only found one image of the bag, that doesn't mean that it's not authentic. Those pictures in that person's photobucket album were taken from Coach's website and are the stock pictures.

ETA: This is the picture (not showing in your post) from the PB album. But although I don't see any obvious problem with the creed, if the stock pictures are what your Facebook seller is showing, they aren't adequate for authenticating the bag.

Hello Again sorry not doing very well with the cellphone thought I'd try computer to get photos up.

Item: Coach bag (she has it labeled as "authentic Coach Madison Graphic Op Art Sequins Sophia Satchel 19179)

the picture she has of creed is showing 19182 as the style number

Please help me authenticate this bag.

I did google 19182 and found a match on photo bucket but it is the only similar bag I've found

Thanks so much
Jen

We would have to see other photos in order to authenticate. The first digit of the creed is a "J." It is a valid style number for a sequin Hailey, like this.
