In order to be numbers, they would have to be raised like the normal date devices. (Would also have to be the same year, it is was struck twice and have doubled devices on both sides of the coin)  With all the other devices showing the same rotation. Re-punched date devices ended in 1908 U.S. coins.

@ing, I vaguely see what you are talking about, but are you sure that this isn't a combination of damage and Pareidolia? The number 5 in particular is the wrong size to have come from the die at the mint.

There is no "1 next to the 1 and a 5 next to the 7"

I've seen faint markings in this area before on Washington quarters, could be the remnants of a die clash?
