Yea, you're right... should have used a piece of off white or black felt behind them or painted it. To late now, I'm not going through all that again. Took pictures of 45 coins front and back.
Secondly what is that gold coloured thing it is resting on?

Sudden thought! Is it your flash thats causing the lighting highlights
along with the holographic logo. In fact it took me a while to figure out my problem was NOT using a flash. Without it they look dull and lose a lot of depth.Pictures were taken outside with a tripod on a very cloudy day. I did use a tent (of sorts) so there is no reflection of the tripod on the plastic holders. Coins were positioned about 10 feet away and parallel to the lens face, and then tilted about 5 degrees toward it. Highlights are from a flash about 4 inches above the camera lens. I got lucky, as that produced the angle needed to see the hologram.
