Yes, with a dual wave UV light.

I don't believe it is possible to see it otherwise, as far as I know.

With a lot of the early tagged stamps in Canada you could easily see the tagging, one bar was Winnipeg tagging and two bars was Ottawa tagging. They showed up as dull areas on the stamps. I'm not sure about other countries.

Thanks for the replies.
That's the one thing I like about French stamps, you can easily see the tagging.
