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.

How much is a 1935 Buffalo nickel worth?
There were 3 types of 1925 nickels minted, one had no mint mark (Philadelphia) mintage 35,565,100,D was for Denver mintage 4,450,000 and S for San Francisco mintage 6,256,000. The mint mark is under the words five cents, on the buffalo side. The Philly sells for a dollar or so in grade good, Denver about $10 and the SF for around $5. These are retail prices you would get less. One thing to bring to your attention is the grade. If you have a high grade one, with a good strike, it can be worth some big bucks especially the D and S ones. They are rare in high grades and most coins of this date, do not make it to very fine. To help you grade your coin look at the horn on the buffalo. Horn worn off grade good,1/2 horn grade very good, 3/4 horn grade fine, full horn grade is very fine. Above that grade. you need to have a dealer grade it for you. There is a lot involved On the 1935 Indian/Buffalo 5 Cents there might be a mint mark below FIVE CENTS (plain, Philadelphia; D, Denver; S, San Francisco). 1935p $1 to $3, 1935D $1 to $8, and 1935S $1 to $3.50 are the retail value ranges if you still can not distinguish the tip of the buffalo's horn. 1935p $25, 1935D $80, and 1935S $60 are the minimum retail values for like new coins. By the way, "E Pluribus Unum" is Latin for "Out of many, one." I hope that helps.FINALLY DONE!
