Osborne Precious Metals, located in Ohio, is the oldest private mint in the United States. Its roots can be traced back to 1835 when President Andrew Jackson was in the White House and there was not a singular legal tender banknote in circulation. Today, Osborne Mint provides an array of gold, silver, and copper products for purchase.

There are only four surviving copies of the Metropolis movie poster designed by Heinz Schulz-Nuedamm. One belongs to the Museum of Modern Art, another to the Austrian National Library Museum, another is rumored to belong to Leonardo DiCaprio, with the fourth being sold in the aforementioned LA auction. This bar is made possible due to the film’s copyright becoming expired at the beginning of 2023.
