Some personal theories I want to get feedback on.

I suspect that is part of their function...
But as a simple matter of logistics: Lash told Harry she could show him how to summon the Coin ... even though he had placed it behind the best wards he knew how to make, which was in a location miles away.
I suspect ALL the Coins can be summoned from the Church's possession, with similar ease.
I suspect that only a partnership (with a hosting KotBD), and/or a Fallen who's unwilling to be summoned, is capable of holding a coin in place, when the appropriate Summons is performed.

I think they get out because TWG WANTS them out. Likes to dangle a little temptation. Been doing it since Eden.
Harry calling for the Coin well, they are thru HARRY'S wards. She may simply know a way to reach thru your own wards. But maybe not someone else's.
Also possible Rome has figured out better wards than Harry knows over 2000 years. Or just had a better wards caster do them.
I think Nic has more coins because he is a plotter, schemer, and spymaster. He'd run moles and spies, a network, where some of the denarians are simple brutes. His wife is the same. I don't think it is the Fallen, it is their own nature.

So it's actually not Michael, but Father Forthill who reveals this information.
Also, while Anduriel can hear and sometimes see out of any shadow, he can't do this out of every shadow. I highly doubt he can do it on consecrated ground like that of a church, given how hard it is for spiritual entities to even get onto church ground. Talk about a threshold.
Even if he could though, who's to say that isn't divine will? From what I understand of the series - it's all destiny through the privilege of free will. Humans make their choices with the gift of free will and that destiny comes into being. From what we have been told of The White God, I would say that's what he wants. Given that TWG is apparently omniscient and omnipotent, what could possibly happen outside the plan? What event that happens isn't divine will? Given that TWG would have always known everything that ever was and will happen and would have experienced all of time from beginning to end at the moment of Creation? Not only that, but has the power to do anything and change anything? If none of that is true, then that would mean that TWG isn't as all-powerful and all-knowing as is claimed. But that seems unlikely given Uriel's power level. That said, maybe there are very strange limits and loopholes too.
I don't mind the Kim Delaney theory. Definitely has some merit. What's Kim's connection to Cowl though? And why Kim over Harry (the strongest wizard in the city) or Mort or anyone else? What's Kim's connection to the dark side?
I like the numbers theory. The every fifth book is a Denarian theory is quite well known and practically confirmed by Jim. Not sure about the others. I don't remember vampires being a big part of Skin Game. I would also point out that Faeries are nearly in every book, same with Vampires earlier in the series (prior to Changes). And I think a reasonable argument could be made that the Black Council has it's fingerprints in every book in the series.

It's not impossible, considering Lashiel was able to whisper her poisonous words in Harry's ear while he was sheltering at the Church. (Unless I'm misremembering.) I do agree that it should be a lot more difficult; maybe Harry's former link to her made enough of a connection for Lashiel to breach the threshold.
I like the Kim Delaney = Kumori theory. I'm not 100% sold on it, but there's a symmetry to it, and it would definitely cause Harry pain.

I don't buy it, I think Kim was just as she presented, a kid with some talent, but much more ego than brains. Not unlike a lot of kids her age, full of herself and a good con artist. I don't think she had any connection to the dark side, if she had, I don't think she would have needed to go to Harry to try and con him into showing her how to make that circle, which she almost succeeded in doing.
Her connection to Finn had to do with her environmental activities and him being desperate after his circle was sabotaged, not some dark magic connection. Her mistake was the mistake so many make about a lot of things when they have no real understanding of how complicated something really is in spite of appearances.. Her attitude was, well, Harry can do it, I have talent too, "how hard can it be?" That was fatal, because that attitude prevented her from coming clean with Harry about why she needed the information. She had no clue really as to what a Loop was or could do, but that didn't stop her from fooling herself and keeping up the pretense to Finn that she could build that circle.
My question is who built that circle in the first place? Why wasn't Finn able to go to that person?

From Wikipedia about wolves in mythology
Finnish
Unlike the fox and the bear, the wolf has been feared and hated in Finland for a long time. The wolf has been the symbol of destruction and desolation to the extent that the very word for wolf in the Finnish language, susi, also means "a useless thing", and the by-name hukka means perdition and annihilation. While the bear has been the sacred animal of the Finns, wolves have been hunted and killed mercilessly for a long time. The wolf has been represented as an implacable and malicious predator, killing more than it manages to eat.
We have seen the bear in The Law, this makes me think Nameless/Cowl was behind the HexenWulf Belts and may also been behind Harley McFinns original circle to unleash the Loupe Garou, and it’s vandalism. For all we know Spike was working for Nameless/Cowl, and informed the FBI of the Streetwoves, all to test Harry, and sow a little bit of Discord before Grave Peril.
