I think some just like selling new / pristine stuff and market more to collectors than stackers. They probably don't like getting stuck with old 2nd hand stock that they might not be able to move.
It depends on the product. For 1 oz Generic Gold Bullion Coins like the Kangaroo or Nugget that I've used in the example above you might pay a premium of 2-4% over spot for brand new at most decent Bullion Retailers. They just aren't interested in 2nd hand stuff. They don't buy or sell 2nd hand.

That's a fairly low premium the best I get is junk silver 10% over spot unless its a private seller
Premiums are always higher for silver in percentage terms.
