Comments: please help! I already bought this a few days ago and it looks and feels great. However, I thought it was a classic flap bag and it's not...too big. Decided to sell so I posted on vintage coach rehabs rarities FB page to find out name and exact color name. They said this bag was often-faked but they weren't sure and told me to post here to be sure. Appreciate any help. I'd like to return for a refund if not authentic. Thanks.

Hi, I would like to give this gorgeous vintage wallet the 2nd life it deserves! But I need to make sure it is authentic first!! The only thing that tells me it is coach is the coach stamp, no country of manufacture or anything... Thank you!!

They don't show up when you copy in the URL. If it is a practice site it is probably protected or hidden.... You can always screen shot the photos, or have the seller email them to you....what is the sellers name?

Those pics show an authentic keychain. Be careful purchasing keychains be they're highly faked including the style you've shown.

It looks ok to me.

Older wallets are very hard to identify - styles could run for years and were pretty generic except for things like tabs, and Coach catalogs often didn't show more than a small pic of the outside of the wallet so I can't be much help with most of them. But it's genuine.

It's authentic.

Thanks, BeenBurned!

I've never seen a 9951 Patricia's legacy in any shade of lime or sage green before, or any light green color and I've been familiar with that style for years, but that by itself doesn't prove it's not genuine. The small leather hangtag doesn't match the bag either.

What I'd really like to see is a full-width photo of the entire top of the inside pocket, from as close to the purse's side seams as possible. I need to see not just the two ends of the pocket zipper but just a tiny bit past the edges of the pocket. If it takes two separate photos to show those areas, that's OK.

And can you please check the back of the strap buckles to see if anything is stamped there?

EDITED TO ADD - One big problem I'm seeing is with the hangtag. Coach hangtags ALWAYS have the Coach name stamped with the first letter C at the end of the tag with the hole. Even when two pieces were glued together like in older bags, when holding the tag so the rounded end with the chain is on the left, the name Coach should always be rightside-up no matter which side of the tag you're looking at. It's not on the one you bought.

ETA - It would also help to see clear close-ups of the two strap buckles from above, not from the side, with the strap completely removed so we could see how the buckles are sewn onto the bag and how close they are to the ends of the top zipper. The end of the top zipper in the second-last photo doesn't look like it's where it's supposed to be in relation to the corner where the strap is attached.

Another problem is the font of the serial number. If it was made in the "B" plant as the third code digit indicates, the font used in the letters and numbers should match other bags from that plant and year, and hopefully month if I can find any others with an "E" month code like yours. But here's an absolutely genuine Special Edition bag made in September 2000 (the J code) instead ofr May 2000 like your bag's stamp says, and all the fonts are different:

Thanks for the quick reply, Hyacinth. I'm not sure I understood the request for pictures but I've tried my beat. Do not see anythink stamped on back of buckles...only ykk on zipper pulls.
