I also followed the DNW auction and 'won' one coin (1828 sixpence) having bid on three. My general impression was that quality coins were selling for well over the high estimate while relatively ordinary or lower quality coins were selling at around estimate.

For example, I bid on a 1708 sixpence. Estimate was £340-400 and it sold for £550 which is £660 with juice. On the other hand, a 1787 sixpence - which is a pretty common coin - had an estimate of £70 - 90 and sold for £90. My 1828 cost me £320 compared to the high estimate of £260. That in my opinion was fair market value given that date does not show up all that often.. The estimate was on the low side.

I won the first of the Irish gunmoney crowns, lot 1279. The estimate was a low 100-150, but of the two main protagonists that have pushed up Irish prices in the past few years, one has gone through a divorce, so coins must be sold and it's doubles all round. :) £220 hammer was a bargain.
