Please look more carefully at your coin! Like ALL state quarters, it carries 2 dates - the date its associated state was admitted to the Union, and the date it was minted.
Delaware was the first state in 1797, but the minting date (at the bottom) is 1999.
Most Delaware quarters, like all other state quarters, are worth only face value. There is however an error variety that can sell for up to $50. If Washington's head points to the SAME edge of the quarter as the head of the horse's rider on the other side, you have one of these errors. But if the horse and rider point to the side with the bottom of Washington's neck, you have an ordinary coin worth, well, a quarter.
PLEASE be sure to compare your coin to others before concluding that you have an error. ALL U.S. coins are designed so that the heads and tails sides point in opposite directions when the coin is flipped side-to-side like the pages of a book.
