The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Margaret and a Coin? Harry's father murder?
RobReece:
you don't need a coin to be headed south and anyone can be redeemed.
Chauncy and his Dark Prince probably saw her power and mindset and thought they had it in the bag. It just took a "good man" like Malcolm to turn her around. Could be a nice story some day. I could see someone want to strike at Malcolm for ruining their plans for Margaret. But I don't think he was more or less than a stage magician.

The Wardens were after her, most likely she would have lost her head. She was pissed in general at the "system," she was living with the ruler of the White Court, had a kid by him, hung out with a lot of other unsavory characters.. She may have even been one of the charter members of the Black Council for that matter..

There are quotes that support it.

This was what Maggie did, scheme. So it isn't out of the question. I don't know. But the books through Skin Game have pounded on two themes, Lea's debt to Margaret and the Black Council.
As an interesting side issue, I think Peace Talks may be foreshadowed in Changes. :)

With the way Jim writes, I think that sentence makes it more likely that it was Justin.

That's true but Chauncy said "The Dark Prince lost her".... It seems to me that it was more than her just being a bad person, the dark side was actively working with her. This book was before we ever heard of the Coins, and my opinion is Jim dropped it here knowing that it would be likely forgotten when we were introduced to them, but then recognized in future books.
That all being said, Chauncy wanted Harry to join the dark side. I wonder if Harry had agreed he'd have been offered a Coin, or would he work with them from a different angle?

That would be dependent on who controls access to the coins. So far on screen we haven't seen anyone outside of Nic giving coins away, we don't have much indication that Chauncey and his ilk would have any influence on who gets them. As Dierdre said, maybe he is trying to save the world.
