I got this from a friend and want to know if it is real. I can't find anything like it by its creed in black.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news but it's completely fake. If you gave your friend any money, or traded for it, get your money back. It's against US federal law to sell counterfeit items.
Not only isn't the C pattern centered, but a real style 1857 is a Scribble Stitch that only looks like this and in this color combination, the Cs are heavy EMBROIDERY thread:

One of the first Coach bags I bought was a fake blue Scribble satchel. It was before I knew about TPF. The seller didn't know it was fakeand gave me a refund. Its now in pieces. My daughter and I pulled it apart to use it as a pattern for one of her textiles projects and we salvaged some of the hardware from it. The only useful thing to do with a fake!
Hi Ladies!
I was fortunate enough to come across a stunning Coach Petite Pelham Zip Dome Satchel in a box of vintage handbags that were donated to our charity. We are looking at auctioning it off at one of our big events, and are trying to figure out what its worth. We need to know its approximate value in order to start the bidding at an appropriate place.
It is cognac leather with brass fixtures, the story patch and serial number stamped on the inside, the original hang tag, correct 9959 style number and in flawless condition! I swear, the gal that donated it must have only used it maybe twice!
Any ideas on how much this beauty is worth?
Thanks!

You can look at the completed listings on ebay, although often other venues get higher prices. I can only find one on ebay at the moment and it sold for $59.95, but I think it was underpriced. I think you should be able to get something between $100 and $250. You can also subscribe to a service called Worthpoint, which tells you what they sold for in the past.
In 1994, it sold new for $220. The color was called British tan. You might want to get it authenticated before you auction it.
Whateve's advice is spot on, assuming authenticity.
But IMO, you should post pictures to confirm authenticity. You can't believe how many fakes come from "wealthy" estate sales and charity auctions.
eta: I'm an idiot! I just re-read the posts and saw that Whateve made the same recommendation re authentication.
Before I decide whether or not to bid on this, is this authentic? I"m just starting out on collecting, so I've never seen this particular one, and I love it!

OK story on this bag is that it was found at one of the playgrounds here on base, we have spent a few months going door to door trying to find the owner (it had a bunch of kid's things in it, so it didn't have any identification or anything.) I posted on the local base neighborhood page too, no message back. I am assuming it is NOT a real Coach, but in the instance that it is, I am posting it, to see, before I give it to my youngest daughter for her to play with. Thank you for taking a look!
