Does anyone know of a Lincoln cent date font for Windows?

Does anyone know if a font exists for Windows of the Lincoln cent date used on the Lincoln cents? I make labels for my 2x2s and would like to have a font that matches the font used on the Lincoln cents. Now that would look pretty cool, IMO. I can't seem to find one but I figured maybe someone has knowledge if it exists?

    That would be neat.

    I would like to see other fonts borrowed from classic US coinage.

    Back when I was a kid, I used to draw my 9's like the ones on Lincoln cents, deliberately. I just thought the 9's on the coins looked cool.

    I think several fonts would be needed.

    For instance, compare the zeros on 1909, 1910, 1920, 1960 (small and large), 1980, etc.
    Or the threes on 1933 and 1934, the fives on 1935 and 1955, the sevens on 1937 and 1977, etc.

    Yeah, I did actually think about that, also. But I would be happy with a 'generic' Lincoln date font, any will do.

    If anyone has a really big bunch of free time, maybe he/she could *create* a "Lincoln Cent" font!
