The seller is an authorized reseller for the mint and gets their stock early - they buy in Bulk and then gets them graded in bulk with the major TPGs and are then able to sell them off in time for the regular release.

Huh interesting. I always thought the authorized resellers only got the regular bullion ASE's (non-special finishes or mint marks) early. Guess I've never really paid attention or never noticed someone post an actual pic so early. Good to know!
The dealers approved by the US Mint who buy bulk ASE and AGE bullion can also buy numismatic products, a percentage of total mintage or limit set by the Mint. They pay a 5% premium above list price and get them before public release day. I don't like it but whatever. The below article is from 2021, I don't know if this has changed:
