Kabutoro: That`s why Orochimaru-sama`s attempt to summon the fourth hokage failed... The fourth sealed his own soul in the belly of the death god with the dead demon soul.

"In chapter 117 of the manga, when Orochimaru first performs the technique, he tries to summon a third coffin. When the coffin is not summoned, he comments on its failure. Years later, in chapter 520, Kabuto explains that Orochimaru's attempt to summon the Fourth Hokage had failed due to his soul not residing in the "pure world". In episode 69 of the anime, when Orochimaru used this technique, the coffin briefly appears, with "four" (四, Yon) written on it; though the summoning of the Fourth Hokage still fails."
Neat. But there is still no 3rd coffin in the manga. I'll say it again, it did not exist in the manga.
