How do I get rid of these large white distracting marks?

Are those reflections from your lights? If so, you either have to move the lights until the reflections fall just outside the coin or you have to tilt the slab a little bit.

The only way to really get rid of the light is to diffuse the light so much that the white spot is a subtle haze (must be even over the coin to work) over the coin. then the haze can be removed with post-processing. The drawback is that the contrast of the color will go down.

how would you diffuse the lights?

White paper? Something like that maybe. Perhaps a Google search..

Four O steel wool evening applied to the slab will make it to where you can not see any of the coin.

But a less expenvie method is to move the lights.

Don't use the flash. Turn the flash to off.
