2, there could only be two outcomes. Heads or tails

As in any experiment you need to define a valid toss. So if you are examining the number of heads and tails you would limit the outcomes to these two states. However, in a real world experiment there may be a condition where the coin landed on a uneven surface and was tilted in some way. The number of tilted ways is infinite. You could also have the coin land on its edge which is unlikely but possible.
