Only kinda related but I love having the opportunity to share this website, cataloging every possible fair die: http://www.aleakybos.ch/Shapes.htm
(ie: not the sort of die in the post, they must have identical faces. this thread gave me a new appreciation for the non equal faced dice tho)
> this model is purely geometric, and does not directly account for momentum
answer: no
Or I guess if anyone else knows the answer, that would also satisfy my curiosity.
Just visually going off the chart, the answer is a "coin" has a 1/3 chance of landing on its edge when its height is 1.7x its radius, or 0.85x its diameter. (the blog author used half-height and the paper he found uses full height)
