CWR = consumer/customer wrapped roll. anything you can buy and take coins to the bank in.
BWR = bank wrapped rolls. depends on the bank and where they get them as to how they will be wrpped.
boxes should be "shotgun" rolls. they look like they have been pushed from the outside in and look like shotgun shells. or Brinks boxes will be those shrikwrap plastic rolls that you cannot reuse.
I am thinking the boxes you have might be some that have been dumped in the bank and already searched. I haven't heard of a bank keeping the boxes to put coins back into when they send them off, so I hope I am wrong and your box has something nice in it.
wheats are easy but slow to find. the more you get to search, the more you will find. $25 per box gives you a lot to look through, but could also be problems to get rid of unless you know places to pend rolls of pennies or want to pay for Coinstar to count them for you for @10% of the amount.
I cant help with finding silver, because I have only found about 7 pieces in a year of hunting. 1 dime and about 6 nickels in boxes.
BEFORe you open any rolls, decide what you want and look for them. then when you find one you can set it aside and jsut get a bucket for the rest and jsut let them drop into it since you will be taking them somewhere to spend or dump anyway. find the ones you want before you worry with rolling the rest so you don't make the mistake I did when looking for those State Quarters and ended up needing an alaska AFTER I had seen 7 and forgot to pull any of the out to keep. >.<
