For reference, here’s what 64’s actually look like:

BCGS???? This should be fun to watch... for a short period of time.

Ah the old CoinWorld holder self-slab stuff. I should get some more CoinWorld holders. I have a few of the old ANACS size but haven’t gotten the newer kinds. Might be good for my nicer stuff that doesn’t fit into an album or worth sending to certify.
BCGS= Bogus Coin Grading Service.
Or perhaps some synonym of bogus which also starts with a B and gets paired with an S.
Except then you’ve got BSCGS.
BCGS?
Buy Coin Get Suckered .
Seems fitting to me.

Kennedys are my quest...
to be honest, the three coins aren't represented well in these semi-satellite pictures and any expected comparison of them is pretty absurd.
I wonder if the coin in the Bogus holder is even real.

I'll withhold judgement until I can see better pics of the coin.

What @PerryHall said.
I'm judging, and not impressed.
Just think of it as a raw coin and go from there.
From the pics I can’t see anything wrong with it. But! It’s very difficult to judge this or any other coin from such small pics. I don’t trust the BS grading service a tiny bit so that does raise a red flag with me.
None of the images are particularly good, there are only obverse and reverse images of one of the three coins and not all of the pictures are of the same date.
You could post mediocre pictures of various PCGS or NGC examples without showing the grades, use the same thread title and include “Perhaps AU55, but who’s counting?
” and a number of knowledgeable posters would agree with you.

Hard to show, but there’s noticeable wear on it.

The holder appears to be a coin world holder...it's real, but the coin?????
Sounds like it may be an AU55 or 58.

Reminds me of a self proclaimed 66 I saw this morning. Not only nowhere near MS66 but looks fake to me and someone actually bought it. Yikes!

Wooooha! Did someone just say it's officially "TACO™" Tuesday????
It’s a very poor counterfeit.

Just when you think you have seen everything- BCGS arrives....

This one is a really really bad counterfeit
The one in my original post is real, no doubt. It’s just a far cry from 64...
