Can't say. Would take more than a single picture to expertise a stamp with a (potential) value like that. Also, the ruler obscures 1/3 of the specimen.

You need to take a good picture, preferably a scan, and on a black background. One of the important items is how straight the sides are - not very easy to tell when white on white.

The width between imperforate edges should be 21.5mm or more. Also, the edges are very sharp (which is not as expected, there should be some fuzziness, not as cleanly cut as if with scissors).

Not a chance at all that it is a 317. Too well centered side to side. Next.

Actually you don't need to send it in but it is your money to waste.
