Before the Indian Head penny, the United States minted the Liberty Head penny, also known as the Flying Eagle penny. The Liberty Head design was used from 1856 until 1858, while the Indian Head penny was introduced in 1859. The Liberty Head featured a classic depiction of Lady Liberty and was part of the larger cent coinage reforms during that period.
The only penny being produced by the US Mint in 1885 was the Indian Head penny. Wheat pennies were not produced until 1909.
