It is not gold. Circulation-issue Bicentennial quarters were only struck in cupronickel, like all other circulation quarters since 1965. In fact, no gold coins have been struck for circulation since 1933.

A lot of private companies put a thin plating of gold on ordinary quarters and sell them at significant markups. You can find the same thing done to the current series of state quarters. However the plating is generally so thin that it only adds a couple of cents to the coin's actual value.

In addition, from a numismatic standpoint these coins are considered to be novelty items because they were altered outside of the mint, so they do not have any special value to mainstream coin collectors.

What is a value of 1973 bicentennial commemorative medal?

So, everyone seems to be missing the point of this coin. It is a bicentennial comemorative coin of the American Revolution, not Independence Day. In March of 1773, a secret meeting of the Virginia House of Burgesses established a Commitee of Correspondence, whose membership included Sam Adams, Patrick henry, Thomas Jefferson and Richard Henry Lee. They were charged with informing the populace at large of British actions against American liberties and to mobilze resistance against these incursions. By early 1774, all but 2 of the colonies had joined the movement.
