The reverse hub varieties are found on the 1972(P) currency strikes. The coin pictured is 1972-S.

The copper has not "faded", it has had another metal plated over the copper.  You see that raised lump in the field between Lincoln's eye and the S in Trust?  That is a plating bubble underneath the original copper plating.  If this had been a non-plated zinc planchet (or any other material) the field would have been smooth and lustrous.  But copper plated zinc planchets often have bubbles under the plating.  This coin had a noticeable one and it is still noticeable after another layer was plated over it.
