you can try cleaning it. you might be able to polish it with a little fritz or semi chrome polish and if you do not have any polishing compound toothpast works in a pinch. Dave

By reading his post I think he as a scratch on the shoulder of the case. I don't think he means around the actual base of the case, which would mean that he better discard it or he may get a case head separation.
I sometimes get a 'shiny ring' around the base of the neck of 303 cases that have been fired in a 'loose' chamber when resizing them. In that instance it's from the shoulder/body junction being pushed back and folded around in the die. This ring looks ‘scratchy’.
