Pity, I almost like the color combination in the fake better than the original. Oh well, such is life. Do either of you know what this bag was called? I'm not getting any results on the 'bay for that style number right now. Thanks again!

Hello, I should have checked with you ladies before I made this purchase but it seemed like a really good deal. It looks authentic with me, but may I have a second opinion? Thank you so much, in advance

**I posted this the other day but i think it was missed. I hope its ok to re post! If not please let me know. Thanks!:p

I just went back and re looked at the explanations in the answers thread, and I am confused because it does look like it says the #3 should be the year. I just want to better understand. Is there any way to identify the year on this bag if that first 3 means something else?

The post says "Coach did NOT add the fourth digit in the serial prefix until it was necessary to prevent year repetition, in 2004.

Thus, the pattern goes like this: J4J = 1994, J5J = 1995, etc... then J0J = 2000, J1J = 2001, J2J = 2002, J3J = 2003, but then they go to four digits J04J = 2004, J05J = 2005, etc... So a bag made in 1996 would have a prefix of x6x-, but one made in 2006 would show x06x-."

So J3J would be for 2003. Then 2004 changes by adding a zero in front since the single number 4 had already been used. Sorry, I don't know how to explain it more clearly. The only numbers that would never be used would be 00, 01, 02, and 03.
