Not sure what this is if it's anything, if I could get some help I would appreciate it, it has then bicentennial obverse and reverse images, on the obv it has the word "copy" above the mint mark, it weighs 1.7g. Thanks for taking your time and hopefully I posted this in the correct forum.

The word "COPY" means it's not a real quarter. The weight may be accurate for this fake.
Rest in Peace

If you look at a genuine quarter from that date (https://www.coincommunity.com/us_qu...shington.asp you'll notice that the portrait is different and the numbers are different, especially the number 1.

I can only assume that what you have is some sort of souvenir token, prop, or decoration.

And
Rest in Peace

There was a full set of small denominations that advertised the coins were shrunken because it indicated what coins would look like if Nixon had his way.

@jut8282, first welcome to CCF. Second, this may be a token used in a board game--modern day Spiel Merke.
