No.
You can't modify a L with a M. You're modifying the M with a C.
M = 1000
CM = 100 less than 1000 (900)
L = 50.
MCXL would be 1140.

Wouldn't 1950 be M C X L? The M before the L puzzles me.

Subject: [bookshare-discuss] copywrite year in roman numerals
HI,
I recently scanned The Enduring Hills by Janice Holt Giles. This is
an older book I found in my Grandma's things. As I read through the
book I found that the copyright year was expressed in Roman numerals
and have no idea what year they represent! The Roman numerals are m
c m l. Does anyone know what numbers they represent? Thanks. Mary
