Concur with copper after incident at centre (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coincide

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'concur' is the definition.
(I know that concur can be written as coincide)

'copper after incident at centre' is the wordplay.
'copper' becomes 'coin' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'at centre' says to take the centre.
The centre of 'incident' is 'cide'.
'coin'+'cide'='COINCIDE'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for coincide that I've seen before include "Happen together" , "Occur together" , "Occur at the same point" , "Happen simultaneously" , "Show correspondence" .)
