Yes there is definite wear on the tail skid. I rent planes, so I'm not in them enough to say I scraped the tail, but the C-152s I trained in only had a metal loop for tie-down, no skid. I remember wear on that loop as well.

I would think it should be pretty evident if your tail hit the ground, especially if you were airborne, but not so much if you had the main gear on the ground.
