'44 Large Cent, Iron Fork, Lead Token, MTA Token, Etc

Greetings All,
Dug an LC that I didn't have to clean before posting!
a 2 prong iron fork, about 3.5", not a Barbecue utensil.
Pocketknife frame, wish the inlay was intact
Another lead token, have been told before they were issued by employers for work done, to be redeemed for payment.
Another Token, it says ' Metropolitan Transit Authority One Fare'
can't find this one listed anywhere, NY and LA use this term, but the ones I've found don't match, Anyone seen this?
Best to you all & HH

Nice Coin .... What is a LC ?

Hi Hispan, LC is an abbreviation that's commonly used for Large Cent (some also say Largie or Largey) - not sure why ddjames said "epic...so well preserved" (unless he was being sarcastic ) as it is somewhat toasted on the obverse, but a nice and uncommon find nonetheless.

Nice finds , i have a ONE FAIR token also.

Re: '44 Large Cent, Iron Fork, Lead Token, MTA Token, Etc

Thanks for all your replies!
Apologies for the abbreviation, I Should have considered that not everyone reading this will have the term 'Ell-see' bouncing through their head all day like me
The # "1", just a 2" high stamped piece, with 2 shankmarks on back.
I wouldn't call the coin 'Epic' either, it's just in better shape than most copper
that I dig, below is what I usually get :P
Good Day & HH To You!
