You have a slight typo or math error, @WBahn , I get...
5205, 3008, x-------, 948, 605, 480, 453, 452, 452
Oh, forgot to mention, if we keep going the sequence doesn't repeat 452. It would be

5205, 3008, x, 948, 605, 480, 453, 452, 453, 480, 605, 948, x, 3008, 5205, 8580, 13493, ...

Except for the step for the unknown number, when the step change is 9 cubed.
Note that RRitesh, as usual, moved onto a completely different problem.

None of the differences in the original problem were prime (since they were all cubes of some number and since 1 is not prime).
