Some of it was molten, but some of it was not.  I guess it's a matter of personal interpretation, until/unless WoJ clarifies the issue.  My take is that it was mostly solid.

It was "several hundred tons of molten and red-hot rock," which I understood to be "molten rock" and "red-hot rock(s)."  The rest of the description fits with boulders and rubble falling, and nowhere is there any description of molten rock -- it never puddles, splashes, flows, or anything of the sort.  Instead, "glowing hot stones bounced from my shield and then began to pile up against it," etc.

None of that would destroy the coin, but then the question remains, who'd dig it out?  Who aside from Harry know that it is there?   Can Lasciel project to a potential host from under the rock pile if the coin isn't physically touched.

In the real world I would say bring a hundred man or woman working party and heavy equipment.  However this isn't the real world and just maybe Anduriel could have grabbed the coins.  I have no idea.  Harry buried a coin under concrete in his basement and Lash said calling it would be no problem. But that was a shadow calling its fallen

Do we know that only a shadow host can summon their Fallen's coin, or could any of the other Denarians retrieve a dropped coin that way? I thought the blessed handkerchiefs used to cover the coins the Knights recover until they can go into warded boxes were to jam Nic or Tessa or one of the other long-term Denarians from summoning the coins of their goons back.

Yeah, I think that's what they're for; possibly other things as well.

I'm unconvinced they actually DO the thing(s) the Church thinks they do, however...
