The author in the passage discusses about how a silver coin dating to eleventh century was discovered and the possible reasons why some archaeologists believed that coin is not a genuine historical evidence. The three prominent reasons are stated in the passage to support the theory. However, the speaker refutes these reasons by giving arguments and explanations.
The speaker says that many archaeologists believed that coin was not a fake historical evidence. They believe that Native Americans came in contact with Norse because several other Norse objects have been found in the Maine not just coins. Whereas ,the passage only states that there is great distance between Maine and the Norse settlement in North America. The speaker argues that Native American could have traveled and reached to the Norse settlements and brought back some coins or a coin to Maine archaeological site. He also states that Norse did not had any permanent settlement in North America. They might have packed up their silver coins back when they returned to their land. So, speaker states that finding no other coins does not mean that Norse didn't bring any coins to North America which is stated in the passage otherwise. Finally, the speaker believes that Native Americans valued attractive objects like jwellery and could have traded silver coins for other objects.
Thus, the speaker disregards the possible factors that stated that coin was a fake historical evidence.
