It is only worth 25 cents and in no longer spendable.
It is only gold plated. Since it is gold plated it is an altered coin and is worth 50 cents.
Not much about 25 cents worth it's plated.
25 cents. It's gold-plated but not gold. It's an ordinary quarter that was plated with a tiny amount of gold and sold as a "collectible". If you think about it for a few seconds, a circulating gold quarter would be worth hundreds of dollars given the current price of the metal. Not even the densest bureaucrat would authorize a coin worth that much and put it into circulation for 25 cents.
The gold plating adds nothing to the value of 25 cents, unless you find someone that wants it, it's a quarter.
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.
It is only gold plated. Since it is gold plated it is an altered coin and is worth 50 cents.
Since it is gold plated it is considered an altered coin and is worth face value.
No, they are worth no more than the metal (or face) value of the coin, the gold plating adds so little gold that it would cost more to de-plate the coin than the gold is worth. For example, a 1965 gold plated half dollar would be worth ~$4.50 in silver scrap just like a normal 1965 half dollar. A 2002 gold plated quarter would be worth just a quarter, just like a normal 2002 quarter.
Not much about 25 cents worth it's plated.
Please rephrase question.
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.

If it is pure gold about $1000 if it's plated gold about 150

It isn't. The US mint has never made gold quarters, your coin is plated assuming the coin is the same diameter as a normal quarter. Your coin is only worth 25 cents.
It isn't gold, it is gold plated. It is worth 25 cents. It is a damaged coin from a collector's perspective. It was not done at the mint.
Gold-plated but not gold. For one thing, a gold quarter would be worth hundreds of dollars so it would be foolish for them to be put in circulation. The gold adds nothing to the coin's worth and would in fact cost more than its value to remove.
