I'm not sure what you mean by "copper quarter". All quarters struck for circulation since 1965 are made of the same "sandwich" consisting of nickel and copper outer cladding over a solid copper core. That's why they have a silvery outside and a reddish copper edge.
If your quarter appears to be solid copper, I can think of 3 possibilities:
1. If it's about 1/3 the thickness of a normal quarter, the outer cladding may have come apart leaving the inner core by itself. This is called a lamination error and is a major find possibly worth a few hundred dollars.
2. If it's the same weight and thickness as a normal quarter, someone simply plated it with copper. That's a standard school chemistry experiment involving copper sulfate and batteries. In this case it's a damaged coin worth face value only.
3. It's an "off-metal strike" that occurred when a blank intended for a foreign coin accidentally got mixed in with normal quarter blanks and was struck with the U.S. design. That's unlikely, but if it can be authenticated it would be worth quite a bit.
If your coin fits the first category, I'd have it inspected by a couple of dealers to get an idea of its price. However, my money is riding on #2, I'm sorry to say. If in uncirculated condition, about 50-60 USD.

A quarther used to have 25 cents worth of copper in it now it has 2 cents worth of copper are you getting ripped off?
A quarter never had 25 cents worth of copper in it. Quarters used to be made of roughly 25 cents worth of silver, but are now made of mostly copper due to cost reasons. The fact remains that a quarter is still worth 25 cents, and if you should so wish you could go and buy 25 cents worth of copper with it (a little more than two ounces of copper). Sorry I ment to say a quarter used to have 25 cents worth of silver in it now it has 2 cents worth of copper are you getting ripped off? I will reenter the question. Thanks.

It's worth a quarter because we trust the economy and believe it to be a quarter. Although the physical value is not worth a quarter, it's still worth a quarter. So no you're not getting ripped off.
