I know I need to adjust the lighting some, but any other suggestions?

Other than the lighting, everything looks good in my opinion.

Its weird to have the light source come from the bottom of the photo. Its not natural. Either have the light shine on Lincoln's face, or from the top of the coin.

Seems your a bit underexposed and the color temperature is warm. You might be able to adjust that by increasing the luminance and boosting contrast. Play with saturation.

Not quite the same coin, but similar color all other conditions are equal to the one above, other than adjusting the angle of the lighting. Post processing: tweaked white balance and sharpened a bit... thoughts?
