@cryptoangel, you might have your timezones mixed up or something else is going on here.
first block was on Tue, 15 Jul 2014 10:33:54 GMT (AM)
to verify this do:
this will get you
00000048d58606be751aab346e3b28e15b0afcf432b5ae2f9c90f60b75c0deae
getblock 00000048d58606be751aab346e3b28e15b0afcf432b5ae2f9c90f60b75c0deae
this will result in

"hash" : "00000048d58606be751aab346e3b28e15b0afcf432b5ae2f9c90f60b75c0deae",

so there seems to be over 12 hours in between the first and block 430.
if we know the actual time this was released (preferably in GMT) we can figure out if mining was actually started 10 hours before official release or that it was just a timezone mixup.
not trying to fud just showing the information i got from the wallet and try to figure it out
EDIT: removed some unimportant output
just realized there where probably some blocks mined for testing purposes. so if I check block 100 (after that the real rewards kicked in) it was mined at Tue, 15 Jul 2014 20:48:16 GMT which was around release time
