Excellent!

So can these be opened without destroying the case?
Yes, if Whitman it is a snap lock case. Find the seam and separate.

A small screwdriver should do the trick.

Well this is a coin I think would benefit from e-z-est.

Luster is visible from all directions and I don't se much wear.

I would leave her as she is, but that is just my personal opinion. However, if I were to dip her, I would do it fast in a diluted solution and rinse several times with acetone to get the residual dip off the coin. That luster looks fragile, so be careful!

Not much risk value-wise.

True. Melt value has eaten into the bottom layers of numismatic premiums.

Update for Jbuck due to shortage of new project coins I put this in acetone for 2 days.

Cartwheel luster albeit not a knockout, some improvment
