I don't know what it is, but I seem to be drawn to the Jefferson Series right now. It might be because they are pretty affordable even in better grades or just the overall look of the coins...I'm not really sure, but here are my most recent purchases.
Nothing particularly rare, but all solid coins and nice additions to my Jefferson Set.

Want to collect from circulation? It's doable!
Complete and inexpensive mint state set? Yes!
Like varieties? There are many to choose from; some of which are very rare!
Like toned coins? Many colors to choose from!
Like to cherrypick? The dealer junk boxes await!
Want a serious challenge? Try a complete MS set in full steps!
Fun, fun, fun for all!

Yes.
They can be collected in gem also for much lower premiums than full steps.
Prices have been firming across the board on these which adds to the excitement.
Many of these are much tougher in MS-63 than their prices would indicate, and grades this low usually don't even need encapsulation.
They still aren't extremely popular so you don't have to fight the crowds for them.
There are still some opportunities to make new discoveries.
There are a couple new books on the subject which will help newbies.
Thanks for looking
in MS-60 and most higher grades. The '82 and '83 issues and several of the older coins like
the '42-D and the mint marked '38 and '39 coins are tougher in unc. In choice grades there
are probably dozens which are harder to locate including many post-'64 issues. In gem the
'50-D is a fairly easy one, and is actually considered common in FS.

I think I am going to stick with the Circulation strikes from 1938 through 65 and leave the proff and the rest of the moderns alone for now. I have a few nicely toned Jefferson proofs that I might send end, but the proofs just don't tickle my fancy the way circulation strikes do.
