I also use a Nikon with a macro lens.
A nice cheat I use is an grey t-shirt under the coin. This evens out the camera metering of your camera.
In the olden days with film cameras photographers would use grey cards in front of a camera to lock in the exposure before taking the picture.
Another trick is to set your camera to the senic mode, this turns off your flash and gives you a greater depth of field on your exposure.
I don't use flash at all, just LED daylight bulbs and an LED desk lamp for highlights.
As long as you use a tripod with remote, you will get a natural colored in focus across the entire coin.
