Well if I was you I would keep the Bicentennial but that's it. The Bicentennial isn't worth more than a quarter but I collect I've been keeping them if I come across one to give to my Uncle, as he likes them. Everything else looks normal to me. I'm assuming that the "golden" colored one is just from environmental toning, or plating that's starting to wear off.

A typical grouping of average quarters, each worth 25 cents.

At the time of the bicentennial I used to save the bicentennial quarters I came across in a wooden box on top of my dresser. (Yeah, I'm old.) One night I came home from work to a frantic schnauzer. Found out I had been burglarized. The quarters were gone (maybe 2-300, and also a pair of Sennheiser headphones. (They left my stamp collection and about $500 in camera gear.) I figured there was a kid having a good old time at a video game place somewhere.

That's what I figured, but wanted to verify with people in the know. I will keep the bicentennial for sure and maybe the real toned one for show and tell. Thank you guys for the very helpful insights.

The Bicentennial is the only one worth keeping. One of the major wholesale buyers pays 27 cents each for them.
The other quarters are worth face value.
