I've just moved to the Netherlands. I'd be grateful for any help on what are the best local online websites for buying coins or any good coin fairs.

Let me congratulate you on a good life decision!
I'm not very familiar with NL, but from what I hear it's a very nice place to live in.

​The first impression is very good.

The hardest thing was to move the collection - those 10 kilos of coins are way too heavy, I think I might want to trim the collection a bit in the future.

Great decision!

How I wished to move to the Netherlands when I traveled there... good sunshine, good and close to even better coins and amazing people.

Which city, though? I saw some shops but only in some of them...
The best coin fair in the Netherlands is in Houten, near Utrecht. Twice a year, once in May (combined coins - stamps fair) and once in September (coins only).

The second best coin fair (in my opinion of course) is in Berkel Enschot, near Tilburg, 4 times a year. The next one is on 4 Februari 2018.

And you just missed less than 2 weeks ago a big international coin fair in Maastricht with exhibitioners from all over the world. This year was the first time, so we have to wait if this fair will be kept in the future again. Here a link to the participating exhibitors: http://mifevents.com/en/participating-exhibitors/

The best coin auction is in Ijsselstein, also near Utrecht, twice a year, once in May (5 days in a row) and once in November (also 5 days in a row).
This is the MPO (Munt en Postzegel Organisatie)/Heritage Auctions Europe (https://www.mpo.nl/nl)

Where in the Netherlands do you live now?

​That's around 60 km. from where I live.

In Eindhoven there is an annual coin fair at the end of November. It's not such a big one because it's also a mixed coin - stamps fair, but more stamps than coins.

Thanks for the info. What about the Dutch websites? I've found Theo Peters and some Euro coins selling websites, but that's not enough for me.

I'm not so familiar with Dutch coin websites but I know this one: https://www.mooiemuntjes.nl/index.php?id=2&lang=EN
They also have world coins but they are famous for Dutch provincial coinage, and that's not what you're looking for I think.

I'm going to coin fairs almost every week, so I don't need websites, not even eBay to buy my coins. That's why I don't know much about Dutch coin websites.
Im in Eindhoven at least once a month for business.

The German border is really not far so you can find tons of coin fairs there too.

On a previous comment, Im not sure about the Dutch sunshine, I don't feel there is that much sunshine in the Netherlands :D
If you like coins, medals and tokens with ship motives follow my new instagram account with regular updates @numisnautiker
From time to time I sell some coins on Ebay make sure to follow me @apuking on Ebay.

​In the six days I went there, only four hours were rainy, completely cloud filled or foggy. All others were also sunny :/
It's winter now and I don't complain - it's 9 degrees Celsius outside. Yes, it's foggy and not too pleasant overall, but I lived all my life in Ukraine and Poland, where winters are cold and -10 or -20 degrees is no surprise. I am happy that I can wear my autumn coat now instead of wearing tons of winter staff.
