Somewhere in between. The first image looks best. I played with it some:

After reading the subject line, I was assuming some type of photographic science experiment. A single letter can have a DRASTIC difference in the comprehension of a word , not that I am an English purist. Thought it was funny...

lighting vs. lightning

 

If you do the pictures with lightning make sure not to stand under a tree.

 

ro => nice photos ... I like the first version with less light (I also like Bing's tweaked version)

keep-up the good work

 

Claudius's spectacles only show up in the with the pictures with more lighting. I think I like Bing's best. Nice coin!

 

Neither of the first two image posted are quite working. They look so different the coin could almost piece two different ones of the same type. Can you explain your lighting set up? Have you tried diffuse lighting (wrap the bulbs with tissue or trace paper), and/or have you tried bouncing light off a white surface onto your coin rather than directing the lights on the subject matter. This last one will give you softer, flatter light and eliminate hot spots and reflections of bright light on the coin. Let's start with the lights, then consider your aperture and shutter settings.
