Just focus on your lighting. Lighting is probably 90% of a good coin photo (really most photos, actually) and good lighting can go a long way toward equalizing camera quality.
Cheapest way to good light is to wait for the right time of day and use window lighting. Just use the light and find angle that gets your coin to look the best and have the best luster and sparkle.
I think your flash is being blocked by your lens in that second one, so again, lighting.
