Have no knowledge of the Statue of Liberty issue, but albumen images aged and discolored differently which could easily explain the different tones, clarity, etc. Old Judge and other cabinet issue images differing that way is common. I also think difference is in part due to how the digital photos of the cabinets were taken. The image on the left actually doesn't look bad. If the mount looks good, with real gold edges and gold text, I doubt it's a reprint.
