Knowing alot about the parts business, and especially about the early years, I'd call that 64-5 ashtray fascia a piece that is suitable for a weekend/daily driver, but not a show quality piece. I've sold several in that condition for $10-$20.
Nicer ones are not super hard to find, but cost will go up. I got beat out on a NOS one on ebay at $75.
I would describe that piece as having some pinpoint pits, that would not be a distraction at normal viewing range. IE- If it was mounted on your dash ashtray, and I looked into your car, I wouldn't notice it as a hideously deformed hunk of pot metal.
I've also known Ron for many years, and am somewhat surprised that he would not refund your money.
