Well, to be honest, the difference in performance between a coated lens and an uncoated lens with proper lens hood is minimal save under direct countre jour shooting. Under a VERY few conditions, coating on a filter might help but, again, a lens hood is the best answer to eliminating flare.
For that matter, many night recon and security lenses remain uncoated to this day as this preserves detail while sacrificing some background darkness.
