Has somebody a hint for me how to get the pin? 

I assume that i have to scare Ed, but nobody would take the ghost costume. I have solved Lavernes and Hoagies part until now.

Greetings, Ronny

Ah ok, found it... A small hint for all other people who searches for the solution:

You have to use a rope and there is an important switch in the surveilling room.

I was able to get the pin without your hint. At the moment, I am stuck with Laverne's and Hoagie's parts. I am not able to find the last ingredient, ethanol, for her. In turn, Hoagie cannot assemble his training device.

For ethanol, you need alcohol... this might make it too obvious, but you need to use the coin to get the needed item.

For Hoagie aside from the bowling balls, you need 2 other things... you need to finish Laverne's path in order to get one of those things, and the other is a bit tucked away (I didn't find it until I realized the game has an option to show clickable areas if you press the spacebar). He won't assemble the device until... You also need a suitable place to use it.

I'm also stuck with Hoagie's training device and can't find the Ethanol or Magnesium. Any pointers?

I gave hints to Zilon above.

For magnesium, have you been listening to the descriptions of the things you pick up? You won't be finding pure magnesium...

My problem was... I never saw the coin at the Lover's Room! It all goes downhill from there.

How do you clean the coin?

Don't think about it too hard... let's just say other people have had the same problem.

You clean the coin very VERY close to where you actually end up using it.

If you can't find it and it's driving you crazy, here's a walkthrough:
