Just bought a “new” breaker from Canada Breakers and its condition doesn’t exactly instill confidence. It looks dusty and used. The silver contacts are not shiny and have a matte white coating on them (I suspect oxidation?). Is this normal?

Absolutely, I would not install this. Breakers are a safety device.
