The date on it should read 1776-1976. It's a common U.S. bicentennial quarter, still worth 25 cents.

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.
Only 25 cents, unfortunately. Lots of companies sold plated Bicentennial coins as "collectibles" but as soon as the Bicentennial was over, interest plummeted and the secondary collectors' market pretty much dried up.

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.
