Oh, I see what you mean.  Really, I don't see that you can do better 
than to choose whichever has come up more frequently -- unless you 
suspect that the tosser (sorry to any speakers of British English) can 
control the outcome.

[Btw, if you spin coins on their edges, rather than tossing them, the 
results can be surprisingly strongly biased in one direction.]
