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 reading and the lecture are both about a historical silver coin found in North America and its genuity. The author of the reading feels that silver coin is fake. The lecturer challenges the claims made by the author. He is of the opinion that maybe silver coin’s historical evidence is true.

To begin with, the author argues that the silver coin was found in far away from North Settlements.The article mentions that North American state of Maine is more than thousands of kilometers from Canada. This specific argument is challenged by the lecturer. He claims that tradespeople merchant traveled many places. Since, they should sell their product.Thus, it is possible that they went to far places.

Secondly, the writer suggests that no other coins were found. Hence, they doubt why the silver coin is only one here? The lecturer, however, rebuts this by mentioning that native person emigrate other place. That’s when they packed everything, but they missed only one silver coin. so, there was only one coin in the area.

Finally, the author posits that time the silver coin is not valuable in North America. Moreover, it is stated in the article that North America didn’t not use silver coin. In contrast, the lecturer’s position is they use silver coin for jewellry because that is shiny. He notes that they use it for trading as well.
