Most of the work in coin imaging is getting the lighting right. Is your 105mm lens a new Micro-Nikkor AFS type? If so, lighting is going to be...
There are two problems with "ring" lighting: 1) For short working distances, the light comes in at too low an angle 2) The light hits the coin...

They are all uploaded (at least the 35 best coins) so take a look and see which one you want and PM me to reserve it. I'll be out of town a few...
