He did have fairly good photos of the coin, but there were scan lines across the coin that blocked the scratches. This is only the second problem I've had out of a couple hundred buys, and the first was a problem I also discussed on this forum with a cherry picked proof set that had dreadful coins, some of which were pressed into the plastic at an oblique angle where the coin was frozen with its edge above the plastic, and all kinds of foreign material problems, and that dealer took it back with no problem. I do look carefully at the photos and avoid bad pictures and obviously over-graded coins. I also get some very good deals because I look carefully at the photos. He is screaming that I have no case because I waited two weeks to complain, but I had ordered a lot of coins in that period and it took me a while to get around to cataloging and inspecting all of them, and truthfully, I discussed it on this forum before contacting him because I wanted to get a sense if I was being reasonable. Honestly, I don't think two weeks is "way too long" and also his argument that I'm stuck with it because I opened it, when I think it's good practice to open the plastic to view them more closely to check for problems, which in this case, turned out to be how I noticed the problem was as bad as it is. He sent an "offer" to resolve it that was nothing more than railing about how bad I am and calling me a liar, with no offer to resolve of any kind.
