Coin is more reliable goldwise because relic has the annoying requirement that your allies actually need to pay attention. Without the execute it is quite difficult to get a blow in if your ADC is greedy, even if you've got Flay. Midlane champions don't have to deal with allies stealing their farm, makes it consideraly easier.

Sustainwise coin is actually quite nice, the heal on minions dying near you has frequently saved my life or allowed me to stay in lane for long periods of time. By contrast relic's sustain feels surprisingly weak. Probably has to do with the fact that in order to trigger the heal you have to get in range of poke, which immeadiatly negates the heal.

It's just not a comfortable item goldwise, it's quite annoying as it's also the only golditem that's actually a decent item statwise.. the others are not really worth a slot...
