<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ancientnoob, post: 2191842, member: 44140&quot;]I was part of an auction from a seller from India who has a very decent Raja Raja Chola copper that I felt I must own for my Octopus collection. A very nice Chola invasion coin. Here is how it went... I bid $3 and after a day or so I was out bid. I bid $5 and again I was outbid. [USER=19463]@dougsmit[/USER]&nbsp; said he paid $10.60 for his gorgeous piece in JA&#039;s thread &quot;3 Little Indians&quot;. So at least I know what the king of the bottom feeders would pay. Very shortly after reading the $10.60 number the bidding crossed the $10 mark with minutes to go, I did what any good American would do when faced with opposition...I sent in Andrew Jackson!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Chola Era Temple...These guys really new how to build stuff, they certainly give the Romans a run for their money.</p><p><img src="https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/f6/Chola_temple.png" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>India, Tamilnadu</p><p>Empire of the Chola</p><p>Raja Raja Chola (AD 985-1014)</p><p>AE Kasu 20 mm x 4.38 grams</p><p>Obverse: King Standing Holding Lotus. 5 lobes with crescent moon right field.
