If it is copper on only one side you probably have a lamination error. This happens when a coin's outer clad layer fails to bond properly with the copper core. Lamination errors are thinner than normal coins because they're missing a layer of metal. Lamination-error Bicentennial quarters retail for about $25.
If you have a coin that's the same thickness and appears to be solid copper it's more likely to have been plated. In that case it has no extra value.
Were struck for the Bicentennial of the USA. They are in common circulation and unless in a mint set they are only worth 25 cents.

July 24, 2009 Gold plating a coin destroys its numismatic value. The Bicentennial quarter is worth but a quarter plus the value of the bit of gold used to plate it.

Please check the back of your coin. Independence Hall was on the back of Bicentennial half dollars. Quarters showed a drummer boy.
Your coin is an ordinary Bicentennial quarter that's been "colorized" as a so-called collectible. That makes it an altered coin worth only face value.
What drummer boy? I'm a Christian and there is no drummer boy
Not an Indian - it's a colonial drummer boy. As you could note from the front of the coin you have a dual-dated quarter (1776-1976) minted in honor of the Bicentennial. Billions were struck and most disappeared into people's collections so unless yours is in uncirculated or proof condition it's only worth a quarter.
The general who talked to the drummer boy in the book The Drummer Boy of Shiloh is only referred to as The General. The drummer boy is named Joby.
