Is a 1958 Proof Set all coins NGC PF68 valued more than the sum of each coin?

I don’t think so, unless, in the extremely rare event that the set was attractively toned and well matched. Part of the reason is that some buyers might be looking for one or two of the coins in the set but not all of them. So the number of potential buyers for a set is reduced.

Plus, sequential insert numbers with older NGC ("no line") slabs would add value.
For modern sets, I don’t think so. I would feel differently about one from the 19th century or first half of the 20th century.
Not to me.

It wb a cost plus project but the value of each coin plus the set premium wb likely considered by the player.
However nice, high demand sets will have strong competetive bidding.
For a modern set, I'd imagine there are far more collectors who want a single coin (or multiples, but not the whole set) as a type example or to add to their existing set, which could be a proof set for the date, or a date run for the denomination. The coins are common enough where someone could assemble a set rather easily. On the other hand, for a matched set of classic proofs (ie, an original proof set that's now graded), yes the individual coins could have appeal to a number of collectors, but there would also be a strong market for collectors who value the set staying together, because you couldn't recreate the set with different coins substituted for the current ones.
