Comments

Note that for n > 6, we need examine only squarefree n having three or more factors. Sequence A095878 has the values of the middle coefficient of Phi_n(x) for the n in this sequence. Note that for n = 1 and 2, Phi_n(x) is a polynomial having no middle term.

Example

385 is in this sequence because the middle coefficient of Phi_385(x) is -3, which does not occur for any n < 385.

Mathematica
