Thanks! I never see this one!
Just a caveat. The pictures in that listing don't belong to the seller.

I recently got into Coach bags, just love them. I bought this one from a family member but she doesn't remember what its called and I can't find anything when using the serial number as a search. It was given to her as a gift from a previous boyfriend. It has all the signs of being authentic, I think it just came out so long ago that there isn't any info on it. Any help would be appreciated. The serial number is F04M-1424.

From the serial number it was made in 2004.
Starrymaz showed a pic of that bag in an earlier ID post; she confirms the style number but didn't mention the name the bag. Here's the link:

I don't have a name for it either, probably Studded Duffle of some kind. You can call Coach's Customer Service number and they can give you a name for the style. It's from 2004 and there usually aren't many for sale - IF it's genuine.
What worries me is that there are differences in the details between yours and the photo from Coach's website. If you compare it to the photo Starrymaz posted, the Coach pic shows a front clip. Or is your photo showing the back of your bag instead of the front?
And is there any way you can post a larger photo of the creed patch?
Trajik, I have struggled getting clear pics of the creed patch many times. This is what usually works for me:
Make sure that your camera in on the automatic "A" setting and that you have selected the macro feature (it looks like a little icon of a tulip or other flower.) Use good strong light and make sure that you can read the creed clearly through the frame finder before snapping the picture.
On my camera, the macro function messes up the frame alignment so you may have to experiment to get the entire creed into the picture. On my camera, the top of the pic is cut off on macro, so I have to ignore the orientation I see through the frame finder and move the image up to get a full picture.
If I still can't read the creed from the pic, I brush the patch with light-colored eyeshadow (I got that tip from BebePurse, I think that talc or other powder would work okay, too.) That brings out the details so that you can try retaking the photo. Good luck!
Thanks for all the replies. I did take good, clear photos but when I tried attaching them, they were too large and I didn't know how to compress the file, so I shrunk the image which resulted in poor photos. I did call COACH today and give them the serial number and they told me that it is called a Signature Perforated Duffel. It's a beautiful bag and I really love it. I haven't seen any like it anywhere online. And yes, that is the back of the purse lol. I didn't realize it until you said something. The purse has a dog leash clip to hold it closed. After I called COACH, I went to my local outlet and asked one of the cashiers if she knew where I could get it authenticated and she told me no 
But she did tell me that its not a style that you usually find in the replicas and that in her opinion, she thought it was authentic. But I am heading over to the thread where you get them authenticated and posting a link to my photobucket to see if its real. Thanks for all the help gals!

The best way to post photos is to take large pics and save them to your computer that way, then upload the full-size pics to Photobucket. Don't resize them, just post the links to the PB pics here so we can see the full-size photos.
And as long as you verified that the original photo was of the back of the bag, I'm not worried about authenticity. Counterfeiters back then usually didn't pay so much attention to details.
Not authentic, and a horrible Coach attempted Fake at that!I can't find anything on this bag. I don't even know if its authentic!
Wherever your mom bought that, she needs to go back and DEMAND a full refund. If she bought it from Ebay or from an online site and used a credit card she needs to either file a claim or contact her credit card company to reverse the charge. Selling fakes anywhere in the US is illegal.
If she bought it from someone selling purses out of a car trunk or a pushcart she's probably SOL. Hopefully she'll remember the lesson.
