If we are to assume that the weight of a quarter does not change then, it would still weigh approximately 5.670 grams.
However, if we are assuming the same volume of a quarter which is:
cylinder volume = Pi * radius^2 * height
volume = Pi * 12.13^2 mm * 1.75mm
volume = 808.927 mm^3
We know the density of gold to be about 19.3 grams / cm^3 and 1 mm^3 = 0.001 cm^3 so:
808.927 mm^3 * (0.001 cm^3 / 1 mm^3) = 0.808927 cm^3 and then the mass would be
0.808927 cm^3 * (19.3 grams/ cm^3) = 15.61 grams

Im ot sure how muc it would weigh, but if it was pure gold, it would be REALLY flexible and therefore technically it's not even possible to make a quarter out of pure gold. The shape wouldnt stay.

A quarter about the size of a quarter ounce gold piece.
