Some coins are mined by the creators at the very start, when there is no competition, before they are properly released. This way, the creators get a large, uncontested stake in the coin. It is generally frowned upon, especially when it is not properly disclosed.

Gridcoin was not premined.

Correct. It was not premined, I was there.

Ha ha I hadn't even noticed, thanks @dutch
