And sometimes you just can't find much of anything in MS so you settle for an AU even when cost isn't the "main" consideration. I do agree however, that sometimes a 55 or 58 has much better eye appeal than many 61 or 62's in a given series.
Retired dealer and avid collector of U.S. type coins, 19th century presidential campaign medalets and selected medals. In recent years I have been working on a set of British coins - at least one coin from each king or queen who issued pieces that are collectible. I am also collecting at least one coin for each Roman emperor from Julius Caesar to ... ?
A lot really spectacular coins folks! Wow! Herez another of mine. I bought this one from Ultra High Relief as N58, failed CAC, crossed to P55, passed CAC.
DDR---That's a very nice chopped trade dollar. I remember many years ago in the pre-slab era when chopped trade dollars traded at a significant discount because chop marks were considered to be damage. Times sure have changed.

OK, so it's a 58+, but as per comments in another thread, it's still a 58.
AU58 and crusty.
