I'll be in Stockholm for a couple of days on business.
Does anyone know any good old-fashioned coin shop, where I can upgrade my Scandinavian collection?
(I only know the one in the Royal Coin Cabinet on Gamlastan)
Thanks in advance.

Okay, answering myself, and those interested, I was using this link:
http://www.nelso.com/se/stockholm/coin-dealers-and-supplies/
and visited number 1 and 2 shops, on the map.
Dutchgalego was very right.
Anything interesting (to me) started at EUR 110,- for 5 Öre 18xx; then the Rijksdalers I was really curious about, started from SKK 2700,- (eur 314.862 EUR-ish)** and a real lovely piece was about EUR 1,434.41**.
So, even though I had my creditcard, I didn't really use it
However, I should have taken my own joke seriously. I had a nice chat with the lady in the Strandberg Mynthandel (shop2 on map) and discussed some Austrian, Hungarian Thalers... next time I bring her some, she is happy to pay about 160% as purchase price.
I have shown her this one: https://en.numista.com/catalogue/pieces37186.html which I have on my swaplist for a while for a swap value of EUR260, she said she could pay me EUR380-400 for that, but of course she needs to see it.
I should leave this stressful business life and just travel around the world buying and selling coins
Skål from Stockholm, it's time to have an extremely expensive and very cold beer! [for EUR 6.41428! - in my country it would be: EUR 0.995690] **

Imreh, despite all those high prices the Scandinavian countries do have really wonderful coins.
Forget the high values and invest some bucks.

oh, nothing in particular. World coins for me (unlike Austria-Hungary, the Ottomans and the Romans) are an undefined emotional hunting territory. I love to get some lovely pieces without the wish to complete a collection.
As you know my son studies in the Hague, so hence we have made a wonderful Dutch swap (looking for the next round!
) - and since I have closed a large Europe-wide business deal in Stockholm, I was looking to celebrate that with a Rijksadaaler and a Guiness.
I have only managed to get the Guiness

I do have a good friend (we play chess at the same club) who has some very old Rijksdaaler coins, but he doesn't want to sell them.
Why don't you ask your son to take a look at marktplaats.nl ...?
You can find there all kind of coins in there for very good prices.
Concerning swaps, you just need to ask me the coins that you need and I'll find my way through your swaplist. You still have a 50 haleru from Moravia in there which I need to complete my Moravian collection.

I'll make sure the Moravia haleru stays there for you!
As for my lovely son, I think the only thing knows about coins, is that you can buy Heineken for them
