Untapped Potential: turn 1 coin or no?

Just what the title says. I've been playing the quest a fair bit, as well as matching against it, and it seems to me like turn 1 quest and coin is worth doing. Sure, you've "wasted" the coin, but you get a quick tick on your quest. Has anyone collected data or have a strong feeling about whether this move is good?

coin on one. it is definitely worth it, it is very important to get the quest finished as soon as possible. I tried running innervates just so that I would be more likely to have a turn one quest>coin

The move is good. UNLESS you have Crystal Merchant in hand as well and no good play for turn 5 (usually the turn where you complete the Quest). In that case it might be better to play the merchant on turn two plus coin so that you also get a much needed draw.
Generally, yeah, but it depends what you're playing against and the context of your hand. Say you're against zoo/combo priest and your opponent flame imp/cleric on turn one and you have a wrath in your hand. You probably coin the wrath and get that out of your way.
Sometimes you hold it if you want to play a crystal merchant on turn two for more card draw or tempo.
You'd never hold the coin if you have an innervate.
