No. As long the Bronze conduction did not have any foreign corrosion, it will be fine. Scratch won't make any different and likely to happen when you try to insert it.
Its out of box I guess, not like a scratch (if looks like on the photo, just the head of it looking different way). I contacted the supplier and will return for a new one it I guess.
