I would expect the coolant boiling point to be above 212 F due to the
increased pressure from the radiator cap & also the coolant being a mix of
water & anti freeze.
This seems to indicate that your gage is inaccurate or
the coolant is not actually boiling, but then you would not expect it to rise
to exactly 212 every time.

Also, on a warm day when I shut down the temp
will go to exactly 212degF 
(100degC), which gives me more confidence the
gauge is correct (what my dad calls 'latent heat' causes the coolant to go the
boiling point).
