That phrase describes a nickel where the top of the buffalo's horn is fully visible, including the pointed tip.
Buffalo nickels had design problems that caused parts of the coin to wear very quickly in circulation, including the denomination, date, and horn. A full horn tip is an indicator that the coin was cleanly struck at the mint and was subject to little or no wear; i.e. it's a desirable collectible.

Where is the tip of the buffalo's horn on a 1935 buffalo nickel?
The horn tip is in the same place on the buffalo's head on all buffalo nickels, almost directly above its eye, where the horn would protrude from the animal's skull in real life. Unfortunately design problem caused the horn to wear off rather quickly so most circulated buffalo nickels show at most a partial horn. If all of your buffalo nickels are too worn to see the horn easily, you can use any search engine to look for images of unworn coins. E.g. search for "buffalo nickel pictures" or "buffalo nickel images".

How are Buffalo horns made into spoons?
Powder Horns are made by cleaning out the inside and sanding down the inside of the horn to make them lighter and translucent (so you can see the amount of powder in it when held up to the light). A hole is drilled from the pointed end into the hollow horn. The large end is plugged and the tip is finished with a removal plug. Buffalo horns are large diameter and heavy. I've seen one that was flattened so it appeared more like a flask. Otherwise, there is no real difference in making a powder horn from a buffalo horn.
