Welcome to Treasure Net !!
I guess the quarter is gold-plated for some reason; not mint issued.
We look forward to your additional posts and pics.

I can't really tell from the picture. It could be gold plated or possibly an error. I'd need a clearer closer picture to be of any help. Does it sound and weigh the same as other quarters?

I found a 1992 quarter that I believe to be a counterfeit or wrong planchet error. It is slightly smaller in diameter and thinner than a normal quarter, it is composed of a different material so that it weighs substantially less than a proper quarter, and the reeds on the edge don't line up correctly on one side so that it has a zippered appearance.

Kindest regards,
Kantuck
