When
BOSS compact pedals were first manufactured the company used a metal
screw to tighten the lid to the battery compartment. BOSS fanatics call
this a "Silver screw". Sometimes it's also called a "Coin screw". This
is because the bottom label told you to "Use a coin" to unscrew. When
the silver screw was replaced by a black metal screw with plastic
coating you were advised to "Unscrew using your fingers".
Even
though both screws came in slightly different shapes it's not of
any importance to collectors. It's either silver screw or black screw.
Silver screw (or simply SS) pedals usely have a higher price tag in the
used/vintage market because of the rarity and age.
