Lighthouse L6 coin case

[ChrisSilver]

Danny will probably be able to answer this question as he has the coin case from lidl, which from as far as I can see looks pretty much like the same case, apart from the handle:

 

Does anyone know if these Lighthouse L6 coin cases are suitable for storing coins whilst the case is lying vertical on its side. The big old monster firesafe that I have is too small internally to fit this case in lying normally. But I could fit up to 3 of these cases if they were to lie on their sides, with the smallest side against on the ground. 

Would the coins stay ok, or would they just get moved around and possibly slide out of position in the trays?

A larger fire safe would cost about £937 inc VAT. So isn't really a viable option. 

Another option would be to purchase a cheaper, standard safe, that's not fireproof. 
 

[Danny-boy]

If it's the same as mine, as long as you have enough coin trays in they will be fine.

The lid is flush with foam, so as long as the contents (trays) are just over-filling the base, it squashes up against the lid foam and keeps everything where it should be.

One coin tray only, and it will obviously rattle around.

What's the best price you found for the L6 mate?

[Danny-boy]

My supplier (Andy-jack) has them on eBay for £32 with the 47mm trays.

[ChrisSilver]

Do you reckon all the trays need to have coins in, or are the ridges of the trays higher than the coins so it doesn't matter if they are empty or not?

I haven't checked many sites but this one: http://www.duncannon.co.uk/detail.asp/c=43/q=1/sku=CARGO%20L6 is £39.95

What size trays would I need for Perth Mint Lunars and Kooks ? 

[Danny-boy]

No, the ridges sit right so they can be empty mate.

This chap in eBay is a diamond, he'll sort you out.

The 47mm trays are what I use, they fit up to the 41mm lighthouse capsules.

[ChrisSilver]

Thanks for the link dan, I will shoot him a message tomorrow maybe.

[ChrisSilver]

So the 41mm fits both the kooks and the lunars? I also noticed on that other site that there is a 39mm do you know if that is a better size for the kooks, or if its too small? I haven't got a kook at hand to measure.

[Danny-boy]

You on about trays or capsules?

If using capsules, the 47mm fits the 41mm capsules, these do all apart from lunars.

For the lunars, you need the tray that has 15 square places, don't remember the size.

Look at my stack pics, you will see. Go by the amount of compartments.

[ChrisSilver]

Ok,

so 24 slot tray for the kooks. (47mm tray)
15 slot tray for lunars (50mm tray)
 

[ChrisSilver]

I ordered directly from his site in the end:

 

http://www.coingallery.co.uk//lighthouse-cargo-l6-large-aluminium-coin-case-for-251-coins-425-p.asp

 

cheaper than through eBay. £25.99 with delivery and he will sort me out with specific trays. 

I just hope these sizes are the best

 

24 slot tray for the kooks. (47mm tray) I am assuming is best for kook's etc
15 slot tray for lunars (50mm tray) I am assuming is best for lunars

[Danny-boy]

Think you are spot on there.

Good prices too mate

Danny. You said you had some smaller size trays? What sizes do you have spare. 

I have a 1oz gold lunar horse. Any idea what size it would fit? I know the 1oz Perth Mint Kangaroo Nugget is 32.1mm (so with it's capsule on I am not sure if that would fit into a 33mm tray)

Also not sure if the lunar horse is the same size as the kangaroo nugget. So either 33mm or 39mm tray might fit.

If you have a spare tray, what would you want for it?

[Danny-boy]

To you, I wouldn't want anything for it mate.

Later this evening, I'll do a list of what I have and you can see if you want any.

D

[Danny-boy]

Right, I have

2 trays each fitting 8 slabs

2 23mm trays holding 77 each

4 33mm trays holding 40 each

Let me know if you want any Chris.

Thanks Danny. I am not sure if the 33mm would fit, I will have to do some research and see. I also need to check if it's needed. Might just be able to put smaller coins in the bigger trays. I'll let you know

[Danny-boy]

If the coin is 32.1, it won't fit in the 33 with a capsule on it. It would go in naked.

Oh, and you can definitely put the smaller coin in a bigger tray, I guarantee that one.

They are here if you want them bud.

[ChrisSilver]

Well, I ended up changing my order for the S6 case instead.

Was for some reason more expensive. With delivery ended up being £30.99, but at least this size fits easily into my safe.

£26 inc trays on eBay.

Nice little case actually, I might get one just for my lunars to keep them separate.

Please can you link? The one I found on eBay was £35.99 with trays.

Andy also is changing one of the trays for me, even if it would have been £5 cheaper on eBay it's not the end o the world. I also mentioned The Silver Forum, and told andy that these cases are quite popular amongst members here and asked if he can do some sot of a deal for the members here. Will see what he says.

[Danny-boy]

I must be missing something.

Item no 360837707135

Are we talking Andy_jack here? He's great, and he's selling the one above

Yes I am talking about that seller. But I purchased from his website directly.

You must be looking at the price without trays on eBay. 

His eBay prices for that case (Shipping is £12):

• Without trays: £13.99 (£25.99 with shipping)
• With 6 mixed trays {2 of each tray}: £21.99 (£32.99 including shipping)
• with 6 of the same trays: £23.99 (£35.99 including shipping)

And I paid £30.99 including shipping by buying direct

[Danny-boy]

No, it's £24 inc trays with free shipping as far as I can see mate.

The item number listed above.

ah. I was looking at shipping to Russia. Shipping to the UK is free.

That's not so good. I just lost out on £7

[Danny-boy]

Could be worse mate.

Does look like a great little case, I want.
