I'm honestly somewhat surprised that more people don't take Relic Shield on Thresh over Ancient Coin. I know that at least a few high level support players do that and personally it never made sense to me to take the weakest gold generation item for combat on a kill lane support.

Mana can be a bit of a problem at times and you will invariably have to fight your ADC for lasthits because people are idiots and don't know what the little fireballs around you mean but other that those I can't say that Coin brings any solid advantages over Shield.
