There has never been a gold quarter issued by the U.S. Mint.
The gold plating adds nothing to the value of 25 cents, unless you find someone that wants it, it's a quarter.
These items are solidly encased in plastic and are in a dark blue case with gold trim and an eagle on top. The 1999 set, which contains a penny, nickel, dime, quarter, and dollar, was listed on eBay today (Sept 22, 2009) for as little as $4.95 and as much as $24.95.

It's not gold, just gold-plated. Private companies take ordinary quarters, plate them with a thin layer of gold, and sell them as "collectibles" at a significant markup. They're interesting curiosities but don't have any special value to coin collectors.

The US Mint did not issue any gold State Quarters. If you have one it ihas either been gold plated by someone other than the mint or it has simply tarnished to a golden hue. Gold plated coins are not worth anymore than the metal used to make them. A quarter that has tarnished to a golden hue may have some value to those who collect tarnished coins. Numismatically it has a value of a quarter unless it is in one of the ultra high uncirculated grades.
