Original post (edited for consistency):
I was in two minds to post this when Gox imploded, mainly because I have a large scale business plan that I wouldn't want tarnished by what might seen as opportune parasitism, so I put it off until now.

Personally I like the idea of commemorating (commiserating) the Gox debacle. And I'm a big proponent of lemons into lemonade. So who knows perhaps this is a cathartic process for me and my potential customers? And besides if people find this offensive, I can change the design.

With the great uncertainty upon us concerning MtGox, I was inspired to design and mint a commemorative coin of an event that which will no doubt go down as part of bitcoins rich and exciting history.

The coin's face primarily represents the uncertainty surrounding gox, with the now common slang term for gox's questionable actions. After much consideration the obverse will be blank- which I think is appropriate since for many hours Mtgox's website was nothing but a white screen. I will not go as far as to compare it to their balance sheet, as nobody truly knows the state of play at gox right now.

Perhaps gox's failure will go down as nothing but a blip. Perhaps it will be a point of contention for years to come. One thing is for sure though, wether it is an important event for us to look back on or not, it is surely  an important event right now for many of us.
Good or bad, as a community we should learn a lot from what has happened. While I have my own views and concerns of gox's failure I do feel it is important to remember our mistakes with our successes.

Will this usher in an influx of regulation? Is this a victory for the free-market or a catastrophic result of hubris or government intervention?
My idea is perhaps making these coins a present idea for someone new to crypto, a memento for those that saw this coming. A humble reminder for those that perhaps knew the risks and decided it  a risk worth taking.

These coins are NOT meant to poke fun at those unfortunate customers of Mtgox that have funds residing somewhere out there on gox's systems, hopefully in a cold wallet- after all I am one of them. I truly feel for friends and others that have lost significant amounts of coin. Nor is it meant to be a malicious lampoon of Mark Karpeles, but it is an acknowledgement of his involvement. It is in no way my aim to offend anyone.

They will be limited to a single mint run with no more than 500 coins being struck in the plated version and 500 of the silver version, each will contain a mint number card and the option for coin capsules will be added.

For payment I will accept any cryptocurrency, I will also setup a paypal in case people are not able to pay with cryptos. Alt-coins will be dealt with on a case by case basis should anyone wish to pay with a lesser known currency.

I'll accept the current exchange rate, which is why it is priced in £/$ while I'm not really interested in transacting in fiat, though I will if requested.

As to trust please check my profile and my rep thread is here, please check it out and if you are a customer, I'd love to hear what you think of the coins:

Beautiful work, I'd love to see the finished product.
I'm cheaper than mr krabs though so I'm not sure if I'd buy one...
Nonetheless your coins will be in the national Bitcoin museum, which opened in 2040.

[ajet]

So what's the price for each excluding shipping? Will be really nice if there are enough orders for copper coins.  I think I will pick up 15 coins myself.

I'd like to hope that the coins will be on display somewhere

Thank you for the compliment.

I will be getting probably up to 100 struck in the first run, and depending on what the mint tells me, I'm hoping that I'll be able to strike using copper straight away, though I'm sure the silver plated zinc will look great too.

The prices are in the listing, £3.99 for a single GoxxedCoin

Right now the prices are somewhat organic until I settle the final quotation and metal material. But they shouldn't fluctuate much from these prices.

I'll be posting on this thread as soon as I get either the first 100 or test strikes from my manufacturer

[bigtimespaghetti]

Just got some info back from my coin maker. Copper is a go! Updated original post.

Love to hear feedback from anyone concerning metals and plating. I'm liking the idea of some part of the minting being plated gold or silver despite going with copper which has a nice hue and tone to it already.

[mudge]

I would like 1 or 2 copper ones when your ready to sell pref with coin capsule

Great! Thanks for the feedback. Hopefully I'll be commissioning the mold today.

[bigtimespaghetti]

Made a few updates, added the twitter. I'll be doing some promotions on social media, hopefully some competitions so people can be in with a chance for some free coins too.

[bigtimespaghetti]

Got some sample images back, will probably rehash the final design to take advantage of the good amount of detail that will be possible

I forgot to mention in my reply there is a discount for 10+ coin and 20+ coin orders.

Would be interested if they were made out of silver or gold. Gold probably just 1 or 2 and silver probably in 20 to 50 range... Depends on price...

Hi lucko, do you mean plated? I have plans for making a certain percentage of the run plated for people and promotional coins.

I think he means solid gold or silver.

I would like these in solid silver

[Lucko]

Solid silver or gold... Not plated...

EDIT: So I can use them as a investment not just curiosity...

Solid silver is certainly something I can take into consideration. I'm trying to get some better quotes right now, I'll look into PMs too.

Pure silver now available.

Of course, well I've looked into silver in between work and it is something that is certainly feasible, but probably a very limited run to begin with. I'll update the thread when I know more.

See OP.

definitely interested in buy a few to my crypto-collection!

Good to know! I'm corresponding with a new supplier and I've been thinking about making nice simple design for the obverse. And making the strike bolder and a little more detailed.

[Blaater]

Very interested to buy around 20 coins, in copper and in silver.
