MSNS honors Heller

Lansing coin dealer Patrick A. Heller was honored with the Michigan State Numismatic Society President’s Award during the MSNS award ceremony Nov. 27 in Dearborn, Mich. The ceremony was held in conjunction with the MSNS Fall Convention.

The President’s Award is given to individuals on the basis of “outstanding contributions to numismatics and Michigan in particular,” and is not an annual award.

“I appreciate the recognition of the time, talent and financial support I have been able to provide to MSNS over the years,” said Heller. “It would not be possible for me to have offered my services without the support of my deeply experienced professional staff. They deserve this honor along with me. Their efforts made it possible for me to chair MSNS committees, lead the effort that won the sales and use tax exemption on the retail sales of precious metals and rare coins in Michigan, and sponsor MSNS Young Numismatist activities.”

Heller established Liberty Coin Service, located in Lansing, Mich., in 1971. It is Michigan’s largest rare coins and precious metals bullion dealership. Heller also owns Premier Coins & Collectibles, also in Lansing.
