Is there a gold Bicentennial Ike dollar in gold?
No Bicentennial gold Ike dollars were ever produced. There were some made in 40% silver composition for mint and proof sets (and I own one), but none in gold.

How much is a gold Bicentennial quarter worth?
Bicentennial quarters were not made in 24kt gold. What you have is a regular bicentennial quarter that has been plated in 24kt gold. Here’s the deal, though: it takes a tiny, tiny amount of gold to plate a quarter. You’d be lucky if there was one cent’s worth of gold on it. So, generously I’d say your quarters are worth twenty-six cents, each.
