The side with a head on it.
The heads side is called the OBVERSE and the tails side is called the REVERSE. The difficulty is that not all coins have an obvious heads and tails side. For instance, most British Commonwealth coins depict the monarch on one side and a denomination/country-specific image on the other. By convention the side with the monarch's head is normally considered to be the heads side
a alien. :D

You might have a flip-over double-strike which would bring several dollars from an error collector, but you should be able to see at least a trace of heads and tails on both sides. If the tails image that is on the heads side is reversed, it is possible that someone laid another coin on top of yours and hit it with a hammer. If that's what happened you just have a damaged coin. Someone familiar with minting errors would have to examine it to be sure.
