Gold-plated, not gold. It's from a set of ordinary quarters that a private company plated with gold and sold at high markups as "collectibles". Unfortunately they're considered to be altered coins and have little or no interest to coin collectors, and there's very little demand for them as novelty items.
The US never made gold quarters. In any case they'd be worth hundreds of dollars for their metal content alone, so it wouldn't make sense to put them into circulation for 25 cents each!

Bottom line, the US never struck gold quarters. Private companies have been taking ordinary state quarters, plating them with a thin layer of gold, and selling them as "collectibles" for significant markups. However, unless you have a complete set there's almost no secondary market for them.

What is the value of a 2002 gold US quarter?
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.

What is the value of a Vermont quarter with a gold coloring or tint to it?
A Vermont quarter with a gold tint is not usually worth more than a regular quarter. The gold tint is caused by chemicals in the air which cause the coin to tarnish faster. It may also be from the coin being near heat for a prolonged period of time as long the heat is not too intense. The gold tint was probably caused by an increased amount of sulfur in the air. The quarter however can be valued more if the tint was caused naturally over time, since your coin is more modern, I would say this is unlikely. It is still a neat piece to own though.

What is the value of a gold 1973 US quarter?
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.
How much is a gold plated quarter worth?
25 cents if the quarter was made in 1965 or later. Gold plating really adds nothing to the value of a coin and is considered to be damage to a collector. While interesting, the amount of gold used in gold plating is too small to be stripped off and sold and make a profit. However, if the quarter is dated 1964 or earlier, it is a 90% silver quarter and is worth about $6.25 for the silver content in the quarter, but the gold adds nothing to the value.
