BIRDIE – 1/2 Troy Ounce .999 Fine Silver Ball Marker | Mint Markers^®

Description:

One of the three original Mint Markers^® designs and arguably the happiest. A plump little bird, mid-chirp, wings lifted in celebration, surrounded by a generous ring of stars. This is what a birdie looks like when it arrives — rare, a little smug, a lot of fun, and gone before you can process it.

The Legend:

Golfers have called the −1 score “a birdie” since a Philadelphia pro named Ab Smith hooked a brassie into the hole in 1899 and yelled “that was a bird of a shot!” The name stuck. A century and change later, most amateurs see them about as often as they see a pileated woodpecker through a sunroof. Carry this marker, and maybe — maybe — the universe takes the hint.

Highlights:

• Contains 1/2 Troy Ounce of .999 Fine Silver
• Obverse: A plump little bird mid-chirp with wings spread, surrounded by a ring of stars
• Reverse: Mint Markers^® common reverse — the “M×M” monogram built from crossed golf tees and a teed-up ball, ringed by “MINT MARKERS” and the tagline “INVEST IN YOUR GAME. FOR REAL.” with “HALF TROY OUNCE” and “.999 FINE SILVER” around the border
• Diameter: 30mm
• Antique finish available at checkout
• Made in the U.S.A.

The happiest bird on the course, and the one you chase for eighteen holes whether you catch it or not.
