The first one is authentic.
The second one is probably authentic. The attached photos are too small to be helpful. I would be more sure if there were better photos both of the creed and showing the size of the inside pocket in comparison with the rest of the bag. The seller is wrong in referring to it as a Helen's Legacy. If it is authentic, it would be a duffle sac, which is bigger than a Helen's Legacy.
The third one is authentic.
I don't believe the fourth one is authentic. There are some problems with the creed and the inside pocket looks too large. The part where the buckle is attached has several problems as well.

Thank you Whateve,
Two out of four is not bad! Not a problem on the first item. The seller provided the additional pictures at my request, so I'll assume that was the best they could do. On the fourth item, I see what you are referring to on the part where the buckle is attached. I appreciate your assistance... ;)

I really like this style! I haven't seen it before. Sadly the seller doesn't sell to overseas buyers. Is this the correct name for it, please, so I know what to search for?

The correct name is Barclay Tote, or search for style 9896. They show up fairly often on Ebay.

There are two versions, the one in the listing is the older one from the early 1990s and has what Coach called a Springlock. The locks occasionally broke so it's always important to ask a seller if the lock's working correctly, since I don't know if Coach still has replacements available.

A newer version with a standard Coach turnlock came out a few years later, still called a Barclay Tote but with a style number of 9096. You may want to look for both numbers. A photo of that version is below.

You can search for Barclay Brief or Barclay Briefcase - there was another flap brief called Barclay so you may get that one in your search too. This is a nice heavy duty bag that wears well. Make sure you get it authenticated. On this style bag you want to watch for water/liquid marks and stains. Also they tend to have been dyed or shoe polished by their owners so make sure you ask the seller.

I think silver coach sells the spring locks.

The forum software automatically shortens URLs.

We need readable photos of the creed and serial number for the first one. Also if it has silver hardware, it was made in the very late 1990s at the earliest, so it's not really vintage.

The second is genuine, but again not quite vintage since it's from 2000.

Thanks for your response Hyacinth. :smile1:

[Hello- I'm very new to Coach and am looking for an older bag and was wondering if someone could tell me about this Coach bag. I am having a hard time making out the serial number on it.

Item: Coach Janice 9950 Crosbody
listing: 261303187982
seller: letspayless
link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/COACH-Black...982?pt=US_CSA_WH_Handbags&hash=item3cd6e23a0e

I don't recommend that bag. The serial number prefix is one that we've seen on some very good fakes. It appears that the strap has silver grommets although the rest of the hardware is brass, which is something we see on fakes often.
