Levi's jeans with a single stamped digit (2, 5, 6) on the back of the top button are older than jeans with a 3 digit stamping. Authentic vintage Big E non-reproduction jeans will have either no or a single stamped digit.
Common 3 digit stampings are 524, 558, 555,554. Reproductions like for example from the Levi's Vintage Clothing collection will normally be stamped 555. 555 stands for that the jeans were made on the original looms at the Valencia Street factory in San Francisco (that is now closed).
