it depends on if you like buffaloe penisis or not
The horn is on the Buffalo's head, on the reverse of the coin.
This means the horn must be fully outlined.
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".
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.
The Indian Head Nickel (aka - Buffalo Nickel) is graded very fine if: much of the horn is visible and the Indian's cheek bone is only slightly worn.
Buffalo nickel was created in 1913.

The first Indian Head/Buffalo Nickel was minted in Philadephia in the year 1913. The coin is actually called a buffalo nickel or an Indian head nickel, but not "buffalo head". After all, it shows the entire buffalo, not just its head :)
There is no such thing as an 1889 Buffalo Nickel. Buffalo nickels were only minted from 1913 to 1938. A nickel minted in 1889 would be a Liberty Head or "V" nickel.
