The rim is a pretty good giveaway that this is just a 40% silver coin. I doubt of an error, but still it's a nice find.

Someone may have altered it. (And by that I mean painted it or something similar.)

If it were cu/ni clad it would be worth a significant amount of money even in that condition. But it's unlikely to be cu/ ni since such planchets were made in any quantity until 1970. The only source might be one of the numerous test planchets made in '64/ '65.
The color is interesting but without seeing the coin in hand I'd suspect it was exposed to an acid that preferentially attacked the silver leaving to copper behind or that it is merely "colored" by some means.
Time don't fly, it bounds and leaps.

Chances of it being coppernickel clad are slight to none, but if you really think it is a specific gravity test would be conclusive (and non-destructive). Copper nickel has an SG of 8.92, 40% silver is 9.53.
