As already mentioned, the plating on your coin was done after the coin left the US Mint. There's a chance that the quarter was plated with silver (or even platinum) before it received its selective gold-plating. I recall advertisements for both versions!
Statehood Quarters with selective gold-plating are not encountered as frequently as the fully gold-plated versions, but that doesn't mean they carry a collecting premium in the marketplace. They were often advertised at $6-$7-$8 or more each, but are not worth more than $1 (if that) to most experienced collectors today. These types of novelty coins continue to be advertised and sold, however, so there is apparently a market for them.
IMO, "Traditional Collectors" may often consider such aftermarket embellishments as post-mint damage ( PMD), but "True Collectors" collect what interests them and what makes them happy.
Enjoy!
