Certainly tougher to find without the die break. That said, I don’t know too many collectors that will go out of their way to find one in the early die state.
If you have even a passing interest in NJ state coppers, you should pick up a copy of Siboni, Howes, and Buell Ish's 'New Jersey State Coppers'...it's a truly phenomenal reference. Though I will warn you, it's gigantic...562 pages and the size of a coffee table book. On page 233, regarding the 18-M, they call the EDS brideless "bridle" variety "known, but scarce." and go on to mention that a few high grade examples (AU and higher) are known (Garrett 1411, Norweb 1327, and Ford 101), but in the lower collector grades (F to EF), that it is "rarely encountered" and usually sells for a premium to the regular die states.
