Do you mean because of where the creed is stamped? Early Station Bag creeds sometimes WERE stamped on the back of the under-flap pocket, but if there's some other problem you're seeing and I'm not, please let me know. The creed itself isn't clear enough to see any problems there.

I don't recommend the first seller. Search here at tPF in the main Coach forum for "station 85" or "station85" (no dash) or at Toolhaus.org. The seller also sells on Etsy, and they have also listed a number of fakes. They have a string of seven HUNDRED Neutrals and Negatives going back ten years.

The second one seems genuine but the photos are bad and don't show any details that help identify the bag. I don't have any idea what style it is.

In addition to the problems with station_85 ( station85 ) (station 85) as mentioned by Hyacinth, I have another comment.

A seller with as long and large a history of selling Coach should know her product. And in knowing the product, she should know the importance of showing a picture of the creed and legible serial number in her listings.

But instead, I wasn't able to find a single listing that showed clear, legible and straight on creeds. While I understand that some styles have creeds in locations that are difficult to photograph but others simply require that the lining be pulled out of the bag. And in cases where one cannot read the creed do to angle, she only gives the last (suffix) of the serial number, almost useless information without the prefix too.

I agree that it looks fine. It's patent leather gallery tote.

Here's a picture of the bag in pink:
