those pictures don't help. the colour is wrong and focus is uneven. it makes the surfaces looked tampered with
has your camera got a macro fixed zoom no flash mode?

unfortunately not. the camera you are using is more for details not overall coin display. I cant see any lustre or surface details.
have you got a normal camera?

mine is a point and shoot as well but it has an option to customise your own settings
have a look and see if you can do this as you will get far better pics if you can and people here will help you get started setting it up
