If only one prospector is chosen during a round, does the other one get a coin placed on it?

Yes.

Any role not chosen at the end of the round gets a coin placed on it.

I can't find the official rules online, but I can point you to the Universal Head rules summary, which says, under "Reset the Roles":

Place one doubloon on each of the three role cards not chosen this round and then return all role cards.

@John Robertson - But there will be one Prospector role card in a player's possession and one Prospector role card not chosen - one of three. The Prospector role card a player took will obviously not receive a doubloon, but the unchosen card will. – gomad Mar 15 '11 at 20:14

The card is the role. The two prospector cards are different roles, they just happen to have the same name. – Kempeth Mar 16 '11 at 8:50

Yes,

From the rules, pg7 under "A new round ..."

Now, the governor takes three doubloons from the bank, placing one each on the three role cards that were not selected during the round.
