If you had done as I suggested, the items with factor levels of "0.0?" would have automatically become NA and you would have gotten a warning message:

> testfac <- factor( c(rep("0.0",7), "0.07", "0.0?", '0.01', '0.17'))
> testfac
 [1] 0.0  0.0  0.0  0.0  0.0  0.0  0.0  0.07 0.0? 0.01 0.17
Levels: 0.0 0.0? 0.01 0.07 0.17
> as.numeric(as.character( testfac))
 [1] 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.07   NA 0.01 0.17
Warning message:
NAs introduced by coercion
