The mint has never made quarters out of gold. Your coin was either plated for use in jewelry or exposed to something (heat, chemicals) that changed its color.
If you think about it for a few seconds, even the most boneheaded bureaucrat wouldn't authorize minting a coin that would sell for dozens or hundreds of dollars, and put it into circulation for 25 cents.
No none. Some dimes tone to a color that looks like gold or it may have been plated but the US has never made a gold ten cent coin.
Ya
The coin is just a common dime, spend it.
The value of a 1985 dime that has been in circulation is still just 10 cents. There has not been enough time for the coin to increase in value.

It's either a novelty coin or a gold plated dime. If it's only a gold plated dime it's worth around $2.50. If it's a novelty coin it's worthless.
Charlie and Co- - 1985 Buddy Can You Spare My Dime 1-4 was released on: USA: 9 October 1985
The gold dime was made in June of 1938 and was discontinued in August of the same year. Only 300 dimes were made.
Ten cents. It's not gold, it's been plated for use in jewelry or something similar. There's never been a gold dime.
There are no gold dimes.
U.S. dimes have never been made of gold, nor were there any gold coins minted in the 1960s. What you have is a gold-plated dime, not worth anything to collectors above face value.
No. US Dimes dated 1965 and later, were all made from a copper-clad alloy. The dime you have is gold-plated.
It is gold plated and therefore is only worth what a normal (damaged) 1941 dime is worth, which is about $2.20 or so in scrap silver.
No. It's plated.
