The weight increase is from the zinc reacting with its environment, rotting. The zinc picks up particles from the air and binds with them, increasing in mass. Going stricly by weight this is a red herring indeed.

If it had picked up enough oxygen creating zinc oxide to increase the mass by .6 gram I would expect it to be a big mass of corrosion.

If he doesn't update us, we will know if it was copper because it will be in all the coin magazines.
