Question:

What is the best routine using one coin?

I guess what I mean by best is :
simplest.
free or angles.
impactful.

Thanks,

Ellison Polands' "Wonderful Routines of Magic" has a great 1 coin trick in which you produce a coin, change it from copper
to silver, then change it back, and finally completely vanish it - all with ONE hand!

In BOBO there is a one coin trick that I combined with a Francis Carlyle vanish using the purse palm (I think it's in the Phoenix) - in the BOBO trick you cause a coin to be "unfeelable" by affecting the spectators sense of touch, then "invisible", by affecting his sense of vision, then restore both senses, one at a time, so that the spectator can first feel, then see the see the coin again.

These are both different enough to be interesting and offer great presentational possibilities. Buried treasures!

Best, PSC
