No its a premine. No doubt about it. Bitcoins had one of the highest premine's ever. Only coins I know of had a bigger premine off the top of my head was the country coins that was popular a few months back.

What is this 1.5 million coin stuff?
A hoax premine or coins mined really early in the days?
I'd like to know, because it doesn't exactly click in my head.
I think it's the coins mined early on and not the premine, but I could be wrong.

They are in the blockchain, just like ALL bitcoins. Bitcoins don't exist other than as an unspent output in the blockchain.
You can use any block explorer to see transactions and block rewards.
The difficult part is determining which ones belong to Satoshi, and which ones belong to other people.
There has been some analysis based on knowledge about what the bitcoin community, software, and economy was like during the first year of its existence. This analysis has resulted in several people coming to the conclusion that there is a significant sum of bitcoins that can be assumed with relative confidence to have been mined by Satoshi.
For an example of the analysis, see here:
