Na ja,

the 1863 jubilee medal is not overly common, goes for about 40-50 bucks.
The Medal with the broken ring is interesting. It looks like from Brunswick or Hannover for me (not really my Countries of knowledge) In that case it would be something not sao easy to find.
May we see a reverse pic?

Best regards

The Prussian jubliee medal was awarded to all surviving vets of the wars of liberation and Waterloo campaign (s). It's not uncommon but still nice. I'd offer you $65 for it.
The middle medal looks like the Prussian campaign medal for the Franco Prussian war (1870-71). What's on the side? It goes for @$30.
The Brunswick medal on the left is the Brunswick medal instituted 11/6/1818 by the Prince Regent (of GB) who was Guardian of the young Duke. It was awarded to all Brunswick troops who fought at Waterloo (and survived). In bronze it was awarded to enlisted men. Silver gilt was officers.
The face portrays the Duke who was killed at Quatre Bras 2 days before Waterloo. It was made of captured french guns. Alas, some prat has removed the steel claw and ring but it could be repaired by a GOOD jeweler. That hurts the price. Coin collectors 100 years ago used to remove the rings for their collections. It goes for anywhere between $300-$450 these days. 5,376 Brunswickers fought at Waterloo/Quatre Bras. About 1350 Brunswickers were killed wounded or missing.
