Note
One spelling does both jobs. Because coincide is intransitive, the participle never turns passive: the dates had coincided, never the dates were coincided. Timing is not its only work, either. The same form reports agreement (their accounts coincided) and exact overlap in space, as when two triangles coincided once one was laid on top of the other.
