The roundness of the cue tip. If you hold a nickel or a dime behind a properly shaped tip, you will see it having the same curvature as one of these two in most cases.
A cue tip should be shaped, scuffed, and sides burnished fairly often. Generally, this means before each match. There are tools made for each, and some tools do all three tasks.
The nickel curvature lasts the longest and is the most forgiving, but generally is not intended for the soft tips. Soft tips are intended to give maximum cue ball control and by using the dime tip, allows the tip to stay in contact with the cue ball for the longest period, and also reduce the chance of a miscue farther from center than a nickel tip can.

Is a flat or rounded cue tip better?
A flat cue tip cannot hit the cue ball with predictable results. Cue tips are typically rounded to "nickel" or "dime" shapes. These terms indicate how round it is - with a dime shape being identical to the curvature of a dime, and nickel shpae somewhat flatter like the curve of a nickel. The cue tip in use by a good player when using much "English" will use the dime tip, as it will stay in contact with the ball longer than nickel shape. The nickel shape is more forgiving and an all around use shape, and is more common for most players.
