Just checked a 1966 ARRL handbook and it lists both
RG8A/U and RG58A/U as 53 ohms.

If I remember correctly back when I was getting started
in ham radio in 1963 or so, it was generally referred to
as "52 ohm".

MIL-C-17/74C which is the specification for RG-213 says 50 +/- 2 ohms, with a lot of other requirements.
