I think it would take more than a bit of sunlight to melt the plastic like that.

What happens if you put a slab in a microwave? Maybe something like this? (Science Note: don't try this at home. Don't put metal things in a microwave unless you can afford to buy a new microwave).

I wish I had images of some of the ones that went through the postal services irradiation procedures back years ago after the anthrax terrorism attacks in DC back in 2001.

Yea that isn't just sunlight. That is out in the sun on a hot day for hours, or in a hot car for hours, or something like that where the thing got to 120+ degrees for an extended period. I cannot see that this would damage the coin; its a low temp for a coin but a high temp for the plastic.

A microwave could scar a coin. Silver or gold may be damaged; not sure how hot it actually gets on high, but metal gets rather hot fast in there, and those arcs & sparks cut the metal layer out of a cd in a hurry.
