What should I do with this Fugly Kennedy Half?

Remember that contest Russ had where we had to guess the hammer price for the infamous PCGS 1963 PR70DCAM Lincoln?
Well, I was the "lucky" winner and sure enough Russ sent me a dog of an Accented Hair Kennedy Half. It's PCGS PR68, but it looks like Russ sneezed on it the day he submitted it.

So, does anybody have a suggestion what I should do with it?

For those that are interested, it's one that grew opaque milk spots after it was slabbed. They are caused by impurities from the planchet rinsing process the mint used at the time. Normally they emerge while in the mint celo, but sometimes they can happen after they've been out for a while.
Because of that coin, I now dip every single one before submission in order to stabilize the surfaces. I've never had that happen with a dipped one.
