No. The lowest-denomination US gold coin was $1 and it was smaller than a dime. A gold quarter, if it existed, would have been the size of a thumbtack head.

A lot of private firms take standard US Coins, especially State Quarters, plate them with a tiny amount of gold and sell them as "instant collectibles". Unfortunately there's not much secondary-market demand for these coins so some of them end up getting spent. That causes confusion when people think they've found a gold quarter. In fact, though, plated coins are considered to be altered items with no interest to mainstream coin collectors. The amount of gold plating is so small that it would cost more to recover it than its value as precious metal.

What is the value of a 2002 gold US 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.

Not gold, and not proof. All proof coins dated 2000 were minted in San Francisco, and the US never struck gold quarters. You almost certainly have a normal Philadelphia quarter that's been plated with a thin layer of gold. The plating makes it an altered coin with no added value.
