The reading and the lecture are both about European silver coin discovered from Maine in the United States brought to North America by European explorers known as the Norse. The reading feels that the historical coin is fake. The lecture challenges made by the author. She is of the opinion that the coin is genuine and a historical coin.
To begin with, the author argues that the Native American site in Maine where the coin was discovered is located very far from other sites documenting a Norse presence in North America. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. She claims America has great distance to Canada and they find many objects so the silver coin is not fake. Additionally, she says American do not bring only coins.
Secondly, the writer suggests that no other coins have been found at the Canadian sites. The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning Norse went to Maine but they bring the coins back to Europe and their other valuable things. She elaborates on this by bringing up the point that although they found only the silver coin it does not mean that the Norse did not go to the place where they found the coin.
Finally, the author posits that silver coin would to be useless the Native Americans so why Norse people would bring the coins. Moreover, it states in the article that North Americans did not know silver coins as money. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is North American did not use money is correct but they use it for other objects; such as, necklace or jewelry because silver coins are shiny.
