After looking over the pictures he provided and the Maris plates in the Notre Dame University collection I would say that it IS obv 18, but it is definitely not Rev L. Rev L has a narrow shield. So that leave Rev's J, N, and M. On rev J and N if you extend the bottom of the horizontal lines to the right it would meet the center of the bottom of the second you in UNUM. That doesn't match his coin. On rev M that extension would pass just to the left of the U. That does match his coin. So I would say he has a New Jersey 18M, It is the only common one of the Bridle varieties.
