With persistence I was able to identify the full date code on my wallet, it was very hard to read the full number I could initially only see the "SP" location code and mine was actually upside down in relation to the credit card slots. So yeah, it is very hard to make out the code.
The one thing I'd note based on your picture - and I'm not sure if it is just a defect or the picture - but there seems to be significant bleeding of the silver / coloring of the text. Particularly the ®, almost as if it was stamped twice.
I've attached an image, but you can also compare here:

I'd say all in all - if you feel disappointed, then by all means contact your SA / boutique.
EDIT: baglady replied while I was preparing my post, so there definitely seems to be some agreement about that stamp. If I was in your place, I'd probably be returning.
I was finally able to make out the whole code. SD1116. My fiancé rolled over and goes, you're taking your wallet apart again aren't you? Haha. I had to laugh but I couldn't go to sleep until I found the code in its entirety because it would eat at me lol. I do agree with the bleeding, especially in the "R". It doesn't look stamped twice but does look to have some very obvious over bleed. Not as clean as the pic you posted. I should have done a better job at analyzing the wallet prior to taking it home. That is 100% my fault but was pretty excited some my attention to detail was lacking.
So when I go to return it what do I say? I don't like the stamping or??? On one hand I don't want to annoy them with what would seem to be a small issue but on the other hand with how much it does cost it should be perfect right?
My S/A was nice and made some small talk. Upon arriving home I discovered that she didn't put her card in the receipt slip/fold. In fact the receipt has the look like the toner was running out. I think both the top and bottom had ink bars on them (or however you say it that lets the user know it's time to replace the ink). I'll post a pic of that in the morning as well. I know that's extremely minor, but something else that was noticed and ultimately not important enough to care about.
