Recently there has been a few eBay auctions (3 x's) where this 1996-W PCGS MS68FB has sold for or had bids near $1,000.
The pop was 16 when I bought mine back in the day right after the FB designation for a 1/4th of the price and then later it sat at 19 for 6 months, when there wasn't a single one for sale anywhere. Now I see the pop just jumped to 34.
Is this a price adjustment or some insane ebayors bidding crazy money?

You simply can't buy the coins at the old levels anymore. Which, is a good thing in a sense, as it is always nice to see upward movement in certain moderns to go along with downward movement in other moderns.
But, prices are certainly not at the $1,000 level yet for MS68FB coins either. I currently have a few in stock and have offered them to board members well under that level.

As I'm sure your aware of, one sold on eBay for an astounding $997.00, which all of the sudden is hundreds above the highest amt. I have ever seen one sell for. Then you listed one for a reasonable paltry $775 give or take a few bucks, then some on else listed one for sale with a BIN around 1K with the rest of the 1996 mint set, and received bids up to $899.
Basically what I was asking was is this a continuing trend for this coin. Could it turn out to be a $2,000 coin in another year.
we will see...

Paul: This is all true (including the fact I sold one as well BIN on ebay for $800 last week as well). However, IMHO, I do not believe the trend is to $2,000 in another year on this coin as you asked. Just my opinion and to back up my opinion, I am selling coins now under the $1,000 level you mentioned. Obviously, if I truly believed the coin would be $2,000 in another year, I wouldn't be selling now at under 1/2 the price. But, I do believe the coin has finally received the respect and recognition it deserves and that if an MS69FB was ever graded, it might become one of, if not, THE, most valuable clad Roosies in the entire series to date. Assuming that is the case, MS68FB's might also drift even higher as the undergrade specimens. Again, just IMHO

Obviously, -1- TT auction does not make a trend.
