The Nikon 60mm f2.8 macro and the Sigma 70mm f2.8 macro would each be an excellent choice..
BAK..

It really depends on what you are going to do with the images. If they are for the internet (monitor display) and small size you do not need much resolution and any lens will most likely do fine. If you need more resolution and better quality, then consider the prime macro lens' as last post..
The lighting, angles and back grounds will be your main concerns for the web. Look at how others position there products and light them..

For these items, a 50 or 35 macro would work fine. For gold coins, you will need something longer, like a 100...
Just use a smaller aperture (BIGGER f-number). You used f/8. Since you're shooting still objects with a tripod, try f/16. Also, google "Depth-of-field...
Hiya.
D300 is wrong camera for this job. Give it to me, I give you my Olympus 510. it is better camerafor this work. Ok?.

Or buy the fullsize car, duh..
Seriously, what this guy said, no need to buy any lens for the car models. For gold coins, depends what image size you need but for web/small prints you'll be fine cropping...
