A number of Delaware coins were minted with a so-called rotated die reverse. A die was incorrectly aligned in a press so some coins were minted with the back and front sides pointing the same direction (like Canadian Coins) instead of 180 degrees off as is the standard for U.S. coins. This is considered to be a significant error and can retail for $50 or so.
The US didn't make special quarters for the Centennial in 1876, so what you have is a standard Liberty Seated quarter. Please see the Related Question for values.The only special quarters were struck for the Bicentennial in 1976.
No quarters have been made in Delaware. No US coin dated 1965 has a mintmark or any silver in them, the coin is face value.
Did you look under the horse? It's dated 1999, the year the coin was struck. 1787 is the year Delaware became the First State.
The quarter probably says "Ceasar Rodney" below the horse's head, because it's a 1999 Delaware state quarter. It's worth 25 cents.
The New Jersey state quarter has the standard portrait of Washington on one side, and a picture of him leading the Crossing of the Delaware on the other.
Those are the letters WC, the initials of William Cousins, who designed the Delaware quarter.
Simple, no quarters have ever been made in Delaware, the "D" mintmark means it was made in Denver.
A 1999-S Delaware Silver Proof Quarter, certified as a PR-70 Deep Cameo example has a listed retail value of $3,000.00.
It wasn't "misprinted". It is an ordinary quarter that was gold plated by a promoter and sold as being something special. Someone probably spent it after they tried to sell it to a coin dealer and was told it was a damaged coin worth only a quarter. In addition it couldn't be dated 1994. All 1994 quarters have the old eagle design on the back. Delaware quarters were struck in 1999.
Sorry no quarters were minted in Delaware. All state quarters were minted in Philadelphia, Denver and San Francisco.

The coin is either counterfeit or its an error.

It can be said that Delaware is special in that it was the first state to ratify the US Constitution. Additionally, Delaware was a slave holding state during the US Civil War. The number of slaves there however, numbered no more than 1,000.
