The bag in the first 6 pictures looks ok, but the last two pictures don't appear to be her own pictures. My concern with this seller is her use of stock photos in many of her other auctions. If the seller is able to take her own pictures, there's no reason to be using stock photos or photos taken from another source.

Also, mandk1076 has many other fake Coach and a fake LV:

Please report!
The bag looks fine. Stitching isn't always neat and straight everywhere on a bag, especially on hangtags. Because of the way the hangtag is shaped, the stitching may not be completely straight. Also, as Hyacinth mentioned, hangtags are removable and can be replaced. We've seen fake bags with real hangtags and real bags with fake hangtags, so hangtags really shouldn't be relied on to determine authenticity of the bag.
I actually don't see a problem with the hangtag on this bag. The stitching looks fine. It doesn't look "sloppy" to me.

I'm not familiar with the 1st 2 numbers, but 4C-9911 is a fake as noted in Hyacinth's post #355 linked below.

You may need to post pictures of the other two bags, unless someone else is familiar with those numbers.
We ALWAYS need to see photos. No serial number can ever prove that a bag is genuine since almost every fake has a serial number of some kind and some are even correct for the style they're used in.
But as DemRam said, the third number is definitetely fake and we CAN tell by the serial number. Too few digits, missing codes, and already found in dozens of fake bags in dozens of different styles. If you have two bags with the same number, chances are they're different styles which would never happen with real Coaches.

It looks good.
I purchased what to me looks to be an Authentic Coach purse. I think it is a Coach Chelsey with blue pebbled leather and a brown leather strap on the strap it has a buckle that says it is Coach - Z4703. The label inside really says K0993-Z14703. Coach said it was not authentic but I still question it. Coach said I should mail them the purse and they would take 4 weeks to determine if it is authentic.
Does anyone know the answer for sure? I don't want to send it to Coach.

We need to see photos of the purse. As we've said many times, there's no way to tell if a purse is authentic just from the serial number.
You said in your other post:
"Coach said it was not authentic but I still question it. Here is why the lettering is symetrical. The letters are cut in the middle for the seams. The seams match up the letters perfectly."
None of those prove a Coach is genuine. Plenty of fakes have the correct fabric alignment and creed stamping. Please don't use that when trying to figure if a bag is real - the most professional class of counterfeiters are very careful about those sorts of details. And that also holds true for older all-leather bags too.
Where did you buy it? If from an online seller or auction, please also post a link to the item listing. Post number 1 on page 1 of this thread explains what information we need to authenticate.
Also, you said that "Coach said" it wasn't authentic. Can you be more specific? WHO at Coach? The Customer Service phone rep? A Sales Assistant in one of their stores? Coach employees have no authority or training to authenticate anything, whether it's in front of them or not, so we need to know who gave you that information.
And did Coach supply an address to send the bag to? I thought they no longer had an authentication service but it would be nice to have a current address if the service is still available.
