Flip it twice. Once to determine which side is up at second throw. Reverse to counter bias at start of second throw. Then flip again for final result.

That only works for a fixed bias, it's gameable if the person tossing the coin controls the bias.

This won't fix the bias. It would be biased towards the obverse of the starting side up of the first flip.
