The $50 Gold Buffalos appear in two styles, proof and uncirculated:

Proof coins are struck multiple times with specially polished dies and planchets (coin blanks) to produce an effect where the fields (flat portions) of the coin are mirrors and the devices (raised portions) are frosty. At certain angles, the mirrors appear jet black, and the devices a thick, frosty cameo.

Uncirculated coins are struck with a satiny finish, where all parts of the coin have the same flashy appearance.

Both the proof and uncirculated coins are being struck exclusively at the West Point Mint in West Point, NY, although only the proof example displays the "W" mintmark.
