It's from a set of ordinary quarters that were plated by a private company and sold at high markups as so-called "collectibles".
Unfortunately there's almost no secondary market for these items, which means it's really just a copper-nickel coin with a thin plating of gold worth a couple of cents.
The Mint has never made gold quarters. If you have a gold quarter then it has been plated which destroys the numismatic value of the coin. Its value is 25 cents plus the value of the little bit of gold they used to plate it. Some chemicals can cause the quarter to turn different colors. This also does not enhance the value of the coin.
The US never made gold quarters. What you have is a regular cupronickel quarter that was plated for one of those "special collectibles" sets sold on TV and in the backs of popular magazines. The coins underneath are worth exactly a quarter, the gold plating is worth only a few cents, the package is a couple of bucks.

The US Mint did not issue any gold State Quarters. If you have one it ihas either been gold plated by someone other than the mint or it has simply tarnished to a golden hue.

Numismatically it has a value of a quarter unless it is in one of the ultra high uncirculated grades.

It may have been plated with gold but it adds nothing to the value of the coin.
Gold-plated but not gold. For one thing, a gold quarter would be worth hundreds of dollars so it would be foolish for them to be put in circulation. The gold adds nothing to the coin's worth and would in fact cost more than its value to remove.

This is not a coin made by the US mint. It is probably worth only the metal value. It could be that it is only gold-plated. If it is pure gold then it is worth whatever amount of gold is in the coin.
