History
The Mount Everest Mint (located at 141 Terwood Road, Willow Grove, Pennsylvania) was founded in 1973 by Howard E. Katz, David B. Tolins and Burton Wigod. The company was a private mint with its own sculpting, engraving, die making and coining facilities. In May of 1976, the company was ordered to reorganize by the U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania.
