Please forgive this "Newbie" Question.
Are these quarters legitimate?
do they have any value?

Nod is right. Numismatically speaking, such coloring is considered post-mint damage.

I should note that they are worth $.25 to a coin collector. As a novelty, they could be worth more if you can find someone interested in such things.

I'd say they're worth .25 to the bearer...less to anyone that would pay to have them shipped.

edit: by golly they been beat with an oogly stick.

At least in the USA it's post mint damage. In Canada they damage them at the mint to save you the time.

Our rather fond quote from http://coins.about.com/ is the term "Crap On Coins". Welcome to the ultimate coin forum.
