Any pointers to how to tell which (C1, C2, C3, etc.) is which for the Canada 1892 penny? Thanks.

I recommend picking up a copy of Chalton's Standard Catalogue of Canadian Coins. It has excellent pictures of the types.

You can find pictures of each here.

Obverse 2 and 4 have a small middle serif in the E's, while the obverse 3 has a large one. Vickie's chin is different in each. There are other markers as well.

Superb explanation. So, if I'm not mistaken, I have a Obverse #3 here:

Yes, that is an obverse 3.
