Well I have two but don't know if they are gold plated or actually gold. I have herd [sic] of special edition quarters that were only made at the turning of the millennium
CorrectionThere were no special-edition US quarters minted to mark the end of the millennium in 2000*. All US quarters dated 1999 to 2009 were struck with designs honoring US states, territories, and possessions.Gold-plated quarters aren't produced by the Mint. Many private companies plated these 1999-2009 coins with a thin layer of gold and sold them as "special collectibles". Sometimes a person will accidentally spend one of them and the person who gets the coin will think they've received a "gold" quarter in change.
In reality an individual plated quarter only has a few micrograms of gold on it and has no added value. There are niche collectors who will pay extra for a complete set of these coins in their original holder, though.
(*) According to thousands of calendar experts, the year 2000 marks the end of the second millennium because there was never a Year 0. The first millennium went from 1 to 1000, the second from 1001 to 2000, and so on.

Because gold backed the dollar up. But now it taxes that do that.
The quarter.
The US won 10 gold medals at the 2002 Winter Olympics.
The US won 9 gold medals at the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The US quarter eagle has .12094oz of pure gold
Twenty five cents.
Gold plated coins are novelty coins with no collectible value and are not made by the US Mint.
The US never made gold quarters. What you have is a regular cupronickel quarter that was plated for one of those "special collectibles" sets sold on TV and in the backs of popular magazines. The coins underneath are worth exactly a quarter, the gold plating is worth only a few cents, the package is a couple of bucks.
It may have been plated with gold but it adds nothing to the value of the coin.
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.
Do you mean "eagle quarter" or "quarter eagle"?There really isn't any US coin called an "eagle quarter"because ALL quarters up to 1998 had an eagle on the back.However, there WAS a coin called a "quarter eagle" - it was a gold coin with the somewhat strange denomination of $2.50 that was issued up till the US went off the gold standard in the early 1930s.
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.
It's gold-plated, not solid gold, as US quarters have never been made of gold. It might sell for a couple dollars.
The US has never made a gold 25 cent coin.
There has never been a gold quarter issued by the U.S. Mint.
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.
