There is a seller on ebay selling a graded 1884 obverse 1 cent although it is a 2. He said they did not attribute any variety to the coin but he is pretty sure it is a obverse1.Item no 262195424856. |

You are correct, obverse 2.

This seems like a tough one, based on the pictures, is the key markers the double chin?
From the pictures I cannot clearly tell if the tip of the bust is rounded or pointed, nor the hair on the brow.
It looks like OC2 to me

Positive 2 as the 1 has a re-punched N in REGINA

purely, the chin marker can be hard to determine with worn coins, the easiest key marker is the extended bottom sheriff in regiNa  |

 , most definitely OBV2, the marker as Wade mentioned is even, not offset to the inside of the "N". |

Thanks Wade, I did not know about the serif on the N, surprising that it is not in charelton.
+1 to the seller as well, they have revised their listing.

The N is just a doublecheck. You can always tell by whether the crown tip impinges on the bead (an Obv 2 does) and whether the neck truncation ends directly above the bead that's directly above the C in Canada (an Obv 1 does)
