What are the top things to look for when deciding whether a coin has been cleaned or not?

Hairline scratches in fields or on devices or the areas that look like they have been rubbed/scrubbed. Easy to see under magnification. Devices may have dirt or grime around them while the rest of the coin looks clean. Coins that have been dipped too long may have a dull appearance. Or the coin looks like someone took a silver polishing cloth to it and shined it up until it burns your retinas.

It also helps if the details seem very flat yet has a sheen to it.
