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.

Is the Delaware 1994 quarter misprinted in gold worth anything?

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.
