Disk Copy 4.2 will be able to cope with it.

I use each program for different cases:
Disk Copy 4.2 - for copying and creating disk images of regular floppies.
DiskDup+ - for copying and creating disk images of floppies with Copy Protection (usually only really old games and software from the 1980s.)
Disk Copy 6.3.3 - for mounting disk images onto the Desktop for installation.

Apple's DART is very good for creating Disk Copy 4 images on platforms that can't run Disk Copy 4 (System 7+ and Mac OS 8+, I believe?).
The one limitation I recall is that it needs a physical Mac with a floppy drive, doesn't work well with emulators. But I don't think that'll be a problem for you.
EDIT: To clarify a point, Disk Copy 6 isn't as good at making lower level copies as Disk Copy 4. That's why some software archival websites frown upon the Disk Copy 6 format.

You can use the Finder. Just drag the original disk icon to the 2nd icon to make the copy.
