It's not actually gold, but rather a regular copper/nickel bicentennial quarter that's been gold-plated. Modifying it like that actually destroys collector value. It's only worth as much as someone on eBay is willing to pay; probably $5 or less.
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.
The U.S. Mint did not produce any gold dollars for the bicentennial. There are aftermarket examples of gold plated dollars but they are just regular production coins which have been gold plated. They have no added numismatic value and their actual value is limited to the value of the metals in them .
None of the Bicentennial coins were struck in gold. Many of these coins have been gold plated privately and sold as "Collectibles" but they have no numismatic value. It's just a dollar.
It's not gold, just gold-plated. The plating doesn't add to its value. It was put on by a private company and the coin was sold as an "instant collectible" but the market for them virtually disappeared once the Bicentennial celebrations were over.
The U.S. never struck any gold coins for the Bicentennial. Many Bicentennial dollars, halves and quarters were privately gold plated and sold as "Collectible" coins. The coins have no numismatic value. The coin is face value, unless you find someone that wants it.

Bicentennial Dollars, Half Dollars and Quarters are very common and are novelty coins that have been gold plated. They are not a product of the US mint. And have little or no collectible value.

Sorry, but the U.S. Mint never issued a 3-piece bicentennial gold coin set. I have seen many sets of dual/dated (1776-1976) dollars, halves and quarters that have been gold plated by different company's and sold as "collectibles" but they have no numismatic value.
The Mint has never made gold quarters. If you have a gold quarter then it has been plated which destroys the numismatic value of the coin. Its value is 25 cents plus the value of the little bit of gold they used to plate it. Some chemicals can cause the quarter to turn different colors. This also does not enhance the value of the coin.
Depends a lot on who made it and what condition it is in.
The U.S. Mint was not producing gold coins in 1976.
