Aren't there any labels showing the fabric content and care instructions? If it was made in the US like the tag says, it should have all the sewn-in tags required by law. I'm not sure when those laws requiring a full set of labels went into effect or when Coach started making clothing items, but I think the labeling laws go back to the 1970s? Maybe someone who sells or collects vintage clothing might know.
And the earliest I've seen leather outerwear in their catalogs is 1992. The earliest leather clothing labels in my files are from 1995, below are several examples. Click on the thummbnails to enlarge. Obviously, earlier genuine clothing might have more basic labeling, but the few labels in your jacket seem a bit too basic. Also there are NO wool clothing items in any of those early catalogs, other than scarves and gloves:
Items should be posted in the Authenticate This Coach thread in the Coach Shopping forum if there is no verifiable proof that they're authentic.

Is the lining also 100 percent wool? That doesn't look like a wool lining in the photos, it looks like acetate or polyester. If there's no tag showing the kind of fabric the lining is made of, I doubt very much if it was made by Coach. Coach didn't start making clothing items with no leather content until very recently (around 2004 IIRC), and any genuine Coach would have the full set of content and care labels as required by US law, and would not have been made in the US, and would sometimes but not always have a tag with a serial number and production codes.

Here's an example of a denim jacket from the Poppies For Peace collection from around 2004-05. There are several photos showing the various fabric and care tags and the large Coach label, none of them resemble the tags in your jacket.:

The Only Leather is a strip on the inside. Feels like wool to me on the bottom half of the inside and a silky fabric on the upper half. See Pics
Thanks,

I'm 99.9999% sure it's fake.
Most frequently, I've seen the "Coach" neck label in hundreds of fake neck ties. (The color of the label can vary.)
Here are some examples of fake ties. As shown in one of the pictures, the ties also have that wrong logo on the back of the bottom of the fake ties:
ETA: I don't sell vintage clothing but over the years, I've seen and reported hundreds of fake ties with that same label.
Curious, what do the sleeves look like - do they have buttons? And if yes, can you unbutton them?
Are you sure that the leather strip is leather?
So the only "Coach" marking/label is that blue fake one on the neck?
Is it sewn on or is it a sticky label? If you can peel it off or snip the stitches (if sewn), you'll have a nice generic coat but the coat isn't made by Coach.
If you decide to donate it, please remove the label so another buyer won't be fooled.
