I can see your point. I really find that the gold runes work for me in the laning phase.Its just that little extra cash to have my core items a little quicker. The AP and Magic pen. Marks is something i've tried before, but didn't seem to add much. With this build I'll have my core items a little quicker than the opposing teams Tahm and seem to be able to snowball that potential a little better. Since I'm consistently able to buy tier 2 or higher items. However ill swap it again for a couple of games to your suggestion and I might come back on my answer.
On the ancient coin: I used to start relic shield a lot. The passive of face of the mountain is really good and the active scales with maximum health. Definitely a viable start. However the ancient coin also works really well on Tahm. It gives sustain and you passively get just a little bit more gold. I sell it when I am almost full build and need the inventory space. So that is ~40 minutes in game.
This build is aiming for Tahm to be like an extra 'top' laner worth in items late game. Also the reason why I usually don't build sightstone but upgrade the ward. The extra cash helps to get there. If I'd go for a normal support build, aiming for utility over damage, i'd go different runes and masteries. Those build allready exist, so I saw no point in writing that. :)
Thanks again for the feedback, ill definitely give it another try.
Ancient coin start is also sub-optimal, you also seem to sell the ancient coin afterward for another item, which makes it even more of a waste. Kench works well with health stats, why not go for relic shield? The passive can heal your adc as well.
