Nickel shooting
OK, here is my nickel's worth on photographing coins. You might try raising the coin off of the background on a small pedestal, or short stack of cents. This will allow the camera to differentiate between the coin and the background, eliminate shadows at the edge of the coin, and throw the background out of focus. This is the method I've seen on the sites for coin collectors wanting to photograph their own coins.
