Season 6 The $100,000 Nickel 3 Stars ⭐⭐⭐ Out Of 4 Stars ⭐⭐⭐⭐.
Another solid Season 6 🌊 episode. Arnie is approached and hired by International Criminal Eric Damien to switch a 1903 nickel made to look like a rare 1913 nickel. An expert engraver Andecker has switched the 1903 year to 1913 with his incredible skill. Damien's hit man Anthony murders Andecker gaining position of the nickel. He passes it along to Damien who later passes it to Arnie for the switch. Despite good security and an alarm, Arnie is able to switch the fake 1913 nickel with the rare and expensive 1913 $100,000 nickel. Millie his wife is also helpful distracting the man keeping close watch over the nickel. It's only a moment distraction but enough time to make the switch. Arnie has to think quickly when the alarm is triggered as he escapes with the $100,000 nickel. He places it into a newspaper type coin box and then waits for the worker to collect the change. Arnie follows the man for awhile before making his move. In the struggle, the nickel coins and other change is scattered over the street. Arnie makes a quick look for the nickel but can't stand around as the worker was shot in the struggle. Arnie is depressed not being able to find the nickel. He receives good fortune receiving the lost $100,000 nickel back in change from an old gentleman who purchased some things. Damien receives the nickel from Arnie and can't have anyone linked to him. Damien tries to blow up the car after exiting but Arnie & Millie were able to get out before it explodes. Damien is then apprehended later before he can escape. Agree with Bobbi! I like this episode and it is enjoyable. It has some more comedic moments than some Classic HFO 🌊 moments. Arnie trying to find the $100,000 nickel with all the coins scattered on the street, Damien's mannerisms, unique voice and excessive weight (Think Cannon), and Millie distracting the man looking after the $100,000 nickel...It all brings a little humor to the episode. Damien could have been an effective Wo Fat type character brought back for several episodes but he's apprehended. Solid acting in the episode. JC
