A 1954-D quarter is worth about $3 in Almost Uncirculated condition, $5 in Uncirculated (MS-60) and $30 in Brilliant Uncirculated (MS-65). Anything worse than Almost Uncirculated is valued at the "melt value" of the 0.1808 troy ounces of silver, which is (as of March 5, 2009) about $2.40.
The "D" (which stands for "Denver") is located on the back of the coin, just above the final "R" in "QUARTER". By the way, an "S" would mean "San Francisco" and a lack of mintmark would signify that the coin was minted in Philadelphia. The 1954-S and 1954 quarters are worth about the same as the 1954-D variety.
To explain the mint mark's position, up till 1964 most US Coins had the mint mark on the back. (There were a few exceptions - pennies, standing Liberty quarters, etc.) It wasn't until 1968 that mint mark positions were standardized for all coins.
Finally, FWIW, coins are struck or minted, not printed. Printing requires paper and ink.

If the two dates are 1776 & 1976 It's a bicentennial quarter and it's still worth a quarter If it's a state or territorial quarter, has two dates on the back and one of them is between 1999 and 2009 it's also just worth a quarter.

1951-D is not a rare date for Washington quarters. The back is the normal place where the "D" mintmark should be on quarters made before 1965. Its value is based on the silver it contains -- currently $1.00-$1.25 FWIW, note that coins are struck or minted. Printing requires paper and ink.

U.S. currency is printed in a 3-step process :The back is printed first and taken to a drying room.Next the front is printed and then allowed to dry.Last, the serial numbers and Treasury shield are printed in an overprint press.So you can see it's virtually impossible for a partialback side to be printed on the front side.I suggest you take it to a coin show and have a few currency dealers look at it to figure out what you have.
It's just a state quarter that has been gold plated and it has no collectible value at all, unless you find someone that wants it.
Paper money can be printed, but if there is no value to back it up, the result is inflation. All money, not just the newly printed currency, loses its value. So it's not smart to just print more paper money than is backed up by real value.
