What is the value of a 1788 George Washington quarter?
Please look at the coin again. You almost certainly have a state quarter honoring the admission of one of the early states in the Union in 1788.

Huge numbers of state quarters were minted so any that you find in change will generally be worth only face value, 25¢.
