The author of the reading passage holds that the silver coin found in Maine is not a genuine piece brought by European explorers, Norse but a historical fake, while the lecturer in the lecture expresses an opposite view.
To begin with, the author claims that the coin has no connection with Norse because of the great distance between the Maine site in North America and the Norse settlements in eastern Canada. However, the lecturer refutes many other objects, not just coins, discovered at the Maine site also come from faraway places. The reasonable explanation for it is that the Native Americans who lived in Maine traveled great distances to North America and could reach Norse settlements during the journey. As a result, the silver coin was brought back to Maine.
Moreover, the author believes that the fact that no other coins have been found at the Norse sites indicates that they did not bring the silver coin to America. On the contrary, the lecturer rebuts that instead of creating permanent settlements in North America, the Norse went back to Europe from time to time, when they would pack all valuable possessions as well as all silver coins. Therefore, it is entirely possible that the Norse originally brought the coins with them to the Canadian site, but when they went back to Europe, they took all the coins back so that no single coin remains in Canada now.
Finally, the author puts forward that silver coins was not recognized by native North Americans as money. Instead, the lecturer retorts that it might be true that they were not considered as a type of currency the way the Norse did. Yet the Native Americans were likely to appreciate their beauty and use them to produce jewelries such as necklaces. So, as long as the Americans realize the value of silver coins, the Norse could use them to trade crossing states.
