I'm originally from Indonesia.
There's very no coin shops as you know them and even then coin collecting is only in the purview of the wealthy.
I get requests from family friends all the time to look for things for them. The market is just not there and I would be surprised if one actually exists.
The only thing I can think of is to visit gold jewelers. They will occasionally have gold and silver coins in their inventory to be made into jewelry. However, I can pretty much guarantee that that the price will be above APMEX.
You will also find a lot of Chinese fakes of bust and Trade dollars. Especially in the kampung shops.
