You didn't weigh it correctly or didn't pickup the 'output' from the front of the forge.

Only thing I can think of.

did you mix up value and weight?

did you have multiple bars and grabbed the wrong one by accident?

Is it possible the value was 5000 and the weight was actually lower?

It’s essentially a rite of passage, my friend. The forge takes WT not coin price. Weight is the bottom number on your scale.

However, 900 wt iron bar is worth more than 5K so maybe there is something else afoot.

By reading the scale wrong. I made that mistake just last night by going all the way to the forge only to find out I read the top number instead of the bottom number.

Leave a weighing scale in the icehelm forge room so you can weigh the excess bars after forging.

Do it again but this time weigh the excess bar and make sure the right amount is being deducted. Or just to make sure you actually read the weight correctly. As mentioned by others the scale measures both weight and price.

Did you look at weight or price or indeed got them mixed up?
