Could Maggie have taken up a Coin?

But even if Lash couldn't get anything from Lasciel after the coin was sealed away, she'd still know what she needed to be that point. She could perceive his mind and read his memory. She could process things at the speed of thought. She had a couple hours to understand him and download everything relevant before he finished in the subbasement.

I know but Harry never really experienced the bonding that others who embrace a Coin feel. Didn't feel the true power. We know the power was limited or Lash would not have needed to summon the Coin to protect Harry from death, and instead needed to sacrifice herself. The power was limited. I see it like Thomas and his demon. Thomas is his own man, but feels the physical need to feed. Harry felt some of the power but not really his entire being, including physical body becoming one with the Coin like the other Coin holders.

But Lash wouldn't need power. She'd just need knowledge to help convince Harry to take up the coin. Memories of Margaret.
If Margaret had the coin, and gave it up on her own without giving up her power (as proposed here) and without giving up her sense of self and her soul (as suggested by Chauncey), then Harry would have no reason to not give it a try.
Mr. Death:
Yeah, I don't really have a solid answer for why Lash wouldn't have said anything sooner, except that she was waiting for the right time.
But out of the three proposed candidates, she makes the most sense, if Maggie did indeed have a coin.

We're agreed on that. Namshiel is an intriguing possiblity under very specific circumstances that are, at best, unlikely. And Rosanna has likely been with Tessa for quite some time.

There are like 30 Coins right? If by some chance she took up a Coin, perhaps we will be introduced to a new Fallen in a future book? Tessa is believed to have stolen possibly 11 Coins. Would be interesting to see some of their persona's since there could be a little civil war between the Fallen.
