The WPN 1st Batch Defective Sort-out Amulet
So many Wat Paknam(WPN) defective 1st batch amulets have been sorted out by the order of LP Sod himself due to the unpleasant appearance of nonstandard-shaped amulets. These defective 1st batch WPN amulets were already blessed. They are called in Thai--Roon Tokkarng. Such the sort-out amulets of about 2,000-3,000 in quantity were well collected in a big bag.

Many years after LP Sod, the late great Guru had passed away in the early B.E.2502, the amulets were brought out to distribute as gifts to people who donated for Wat Paknam temple. Presently, many collectors who have never seen Tokkarng amulets and only cling to features of the 1st batch amulets of the conventional type have often mistakenly identified them as fakes.     

Tokkarng amulets cost so much cheaper than conventional 1st batch pieces. They are good for wearing and suitable for the present declined economic environment.   

Most of the Tokkarng amulets look white and clean due to less and later touch.

See the pointing numbers:

1. Run-free crack lines of standard pattern
2. Flower and burnt incense stick fragments ( and sometimes also the white blessed holy powder fragments) can be seen on some amulets surface. Please see the arrow pointings in the round pic from the top to the bottom:-

Top: Burnt incense stick tiny fragment
Middle: Dry flower tiny fragment
Bottom: Burnt incense stick particle
