acan451 Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 The 2005 Master's set. I was able to get these a few months ago, just got around to posting them now. You will notice they are 170 of 1000, not sure how or if this changes the value. I was hoping someone could help me with that. All comments welcome Thanks Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KoRnholio Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 I have never heard of them. Looks like something that would be offered on the Home Shopping Network, since it's ICG with a fancy label and an artificially limited amount available.

Mark Stilson Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 From an ebay completed search they were a set of 16 originally. 2005 proof , special, and mint set. They don't seem to do well on sales. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 And what would a "Masters Set" be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvargo Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 Was I the only one expecting a golf coin? That is a good question though is there a golf themed coin? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thedeadpoint Posted February 14, 2012 Report Share Posted February 14, 2012 No.... Wow. Is it April yet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ikaros Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Was I the only one expecting a golf coin? That is a good question though is there a golf themed coin? I promise you, you weren't the only one expecting a golf coin. Jeez, I can see them now in my mind's eye. On the obverse, a bust of Bobby Jones with the year of the tournament; on the reverse, a full-body portrait of the winner--preferably the winning pose or some other iconic shot (Jack raising his putter on the 17th in 1986, Lefty levitating on the green in 2004... that sort of thing). The mint mark would of course be Augusta National's logo--the map of the US with the flag in Augusta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and there are at least three golf-themed coins - Manx 5p issues in the 1990s, thusly: 1994, 1996, and 1998. I knew I'd seen some somewhere!
