It's hard to say without seeing the coin, but there are 3 possibilities I can think of:
> The coin came from one of those novelty sets that you see advertised in some magazines. Resellers plate the coins with a thin layer of gold and sell them at a huge markup. These are considered to be altered coins and have no added value to numismatists.
> The gold color is due to exposure to heat or some corrosive chemical. Again, this is a damaged coin worth only 25¢
> The gold color is actually the copper core, exposed when one side of the nickel-copper cladding came off. This is called a lamination error and is a true mistake. Lamination errors can retail for $15 to $20.

Unless the quarter is in mint-state or a proof, the value would be the melt value of the silver in the coin which is $3.80ish as of this time of writing, but changes depending on the spot price of silver.
