Both the reading and the passage discuss the European silver coins related to the eleventh century discovered in the Main state in the United States. The author of the passage believes that these coins are historical fake and recently placed there by someone and proposes three reasons for this assertion. However, the professor in the lecture opposes to the passage and refuses all the reasons.
At first, the passage states that the native people that were Norse had lived far from the location were the coins found, hence, the coins are historical fake. On the other hand, the professor acclaims that in that place many other objects have found and the native people could travel long distances to put the objects and coins there, therefore, the coins are not fake.
Second, the passage asserts that no other coins have found in the Canadian site that Norse people were lived and concludes that Norse people did not bring any coins to North America, hence, the coins are not historical. The professor casts doubt in this point and states some people traveled to Europe and come back there, therefore, they could bring the coins.
Third, the author acclaims that silver coins were useful in Europe, not in North America. The professor challenges this point and illustrates that these coins were beautiful and the native Americans may collect them for their beauty and maybe trade with them, hence the coins can be historically real coins.
