Not a real one.
Lots of private companies have taken ordinary copper-nickel State Quarters, plated them with a thin layer of gold, and sold them at large markups as "collectibles". However there's almost no secondary market for them so they're really only worth face value. Sometimes people spend them when they realize they're not going to make anything on their "special" collection.
If you think about it for a second or two, a genuine gold quarter would be worth hundreds of dollars. Even the most foolish government bureaucrat wouldn't authorize making a coin that lost the Mint hundreds on each one they made.

∙ 13y agoAll silver coins effectively disappeared from circulation by 1970 because they were worth more for their metal content than their face value. The chances of finding a century-plus old coin in circulation are about zero.
At least up till the 1950s and 1960s, some older immigrant communities that didn't trust banks tended to keep old coins in circulation for a very long time because they mostly traded among themselves and didn't deposit coins with a bank. Again it's very unlikely that such practices would go on much today.

∙ 13y agoBy Federal order, all gold coins were removed from circulation back in 1933. And in any case, if someone were foolish enough to spend a gold coin, whoever found it wouldn't re-spend the coin. They'd be able to sell it for far more than its face value because the price of gold is over 60 times higher than it was in 1933.
