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.
July 24, 2009 Gold plating a coin destroys its numismatic value. The Bicentennial quarter is worth but a quarter plus the value of the bit of gold used to plate it.
It's a novelty item worth couple of cents for the gold plating plus whatever the underlying quarter is worth. If the quarter is copper-nickel, then it's only worth a quarter. If it's a special silver "prestige" quarter made in San Francisco it's at least worth maybe $3.50 for its metal content.
A Quarter Krugerrand is worth about $300.
What you have is a regular quarter that someone (NOT the U.S. Mint) gold plated.
No, they are worth no more than the metal (or face) value of the coin, the gold plating adds so little gold that it would cost more to de-plate the coin than the gold is worth. For example, a 1965 gold plated half dollar would be worth ~$4.50 in silver scrap just like a normal 1965 half dollar. A 2002 gold plated quarter would be worth just a quarter, just like a normal 2002 quarter.
A 1965 U.S. quarter is worth 25 cents. With gold at a current price of $1,429 per ounce, 25 cents' worth is 0.000175 ounces. If that wasn't your question, rephrase and try again.

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.
The coin is a Sacagawea dollar, it has no gold and is worth $1.00
25 cents if the quarter was made in 1965 or later. Gold plating really adds nothing to the value of a coin and is considered to be damage to a collector. While interesting, the amount of gold used in gold plating is too small to be stripped off and sold and make a profit. However, if the quarter is dated 1964 or earlier, it is a 90% silver quarter and is worth about $6.25 for the silver content in the quarter, but the gold adds nothing to the value.
In fine condition, this coin is worth: $ 175.00.
