Thank you, I will definitely just post the link. The Rrp is in British pounds. They are currently asking for £99 or nearest offer. I think that's about 150 dollars

The selling price seems reasonable, but the quoted original price in the UK probably wouldn't have been much above 300 Pounds Sterling, assuming 1 Pound Sterling was equivalent to about 2 dollars US back in 2004.

As I commented in the post above yours, there are some close fakes. But your wallet isn't one of them. There's absolutely nothing right about it, from the style itself not being a Coach style, the pattern placement and alignment are wrong, the pattern is too large, the fonts and imprints are wrong, etc. (About the only thing the counterfeiters got "right" about it is that they spelled "Coach" correctly!)

Thank you so much for your reply, this was part of a lot I was able to buy and as soon as I got it I realized the wallet (that I already knew was in very bad condition), was not even real Coach.

The rest of the items are authentic, so I was surprised to see the fake. When I mentioned this to the person that sold them to me (including the red flags), they still deny it was fake, that's why I asked for authentication and didn't wanted to say I knew it, not to give the impression I was trying to influence anyone here into agreeing with me.

Feel free to refer the seller here.

I find it hard to believe that a seller who had several other authentic Coach items wouldn't recognize the lack of quality in the wallet. My personal opinion is that she knew it was fake but tried to sneak the wallet in with the others hoping you wouldn't know the difference. If the price you paid was including an amount for this wallet, she should issue a refund for the portion covering the price of the fake.

(If this was an online purchase, please post a link to the listing. I wonder whether the seller has other lot listings that include fakes and I'm interested in seeing the other items in the lot you purchased.)

I apologise in advance ... Can you tell I am new yet!! I have an old "coach " I picked up at an old market and wondered if I were to post a picture if you could give me an idea if it's possibly genuine ... It's in some need of some love but obviously only willing to do that if it's worth it. I posted on an older thread but not sure if it's active or not

No need to post in more than one place. The other thread is active. It is for asking for the names of items, not for authentications, but we can answer all your questions there since you've already posted pictures.
