In 1957 a European silver coin dating to the eleventh century was discovered at a Native American archaeological site in the state of Maine in the United States. Many people believed the coin had been originally brought to North America by European explor

The lecture and the reading are both discussing about the origin of silver coin in the united states. The reading states that coin is not genuine historical evidence and provides three reasons of support, while the lecture argues that silver coin is not fake and it represents real presence of historical evidence.

First of all, the reading claims that native site of coin is far from the site where Norse settled in the united states in the north america. The lecture counter this point by stating that not just the silver coin, but many other objects were found from the great distance. the professor explains that native Americans traveled to far distance and they were interested in the collecting different objects and possibly native Americans bought that coins from Norse.

In addition, the reading states that not any coins were found in the Canada which inhabited by the Norse. The lecture refutes this point by explaining that It is not necessarily Norse brought that coin. Norse created some settlement. Norse packed up his valuable things with packing silver coins and he brought that silver coins back to the Europe.

Lastly, the reading mentions that silver coin was useless in those days. The lecture argues this point by explaining Norse would not use of coins for the currency. The professor explains that silver coins is very special beauty that used to make jewelries like necklaces. Norse could trade those Jewelries to the american natives and that's how it brought to the states.

In conclusion, The lecture represents very strong points to believe that silver coin found in the united states is not fake as well is historical evidence.
