The 3 looks wrong to me; I'm guessing altered.

Pictures are a little fuzzy, but I think I see the telltale left wheat stalk imperfection found on many Chinese fakes. Can't be sure though, with these photos.

Close-in, high(er) resolution photos would really help.

Reverse (wheat stalks) look a little suspect--given the photos posted.

Agree this is probably a Chinese fake. Can you give us a close-up of the left wheat stalk, please.

Yes, sadly, appears counterfeit--has a 'casted' look.
