If the luster is gone it is more difficult. But it's basically the same as with MS examples. Wear will show as a different color than a weakly struck areas will.
Yes, typical O mint sloppiness resulting in a weak strike. I wonder if the press operators at that time were bilnd, drunk, or just didn't care.
