Uncharged conducting coin grounded to Earth.
+ - - - - - - - - The presence of positive charge creates an electric field at the coin surface that attracts electrons from the Earth to negatively charge the coin.
+ - - - - Removing the grounding wire leaves the coin positively charged. The Earth is a giant reservoir of charge, we do not worry about the fact that it has some miniscule amount of excess positive charge.
