The knots 6_1 and 9_46 have the same Alexander polynomial. Their Jones polynomials are different, though:

In[2]:=
Jones[Knot[6, 3]][q] 
Out[2]=
     -3   2    2            2    3
3 - q   + -- - - - 2 q + 2 q  - q
           2   q
          q
In[3]:=
Jones[Knot[9, 48]][q] 
Out[3]=
     1            2      3      4      5      6
-3 + - + 4 q - 4 q  + 6 q  - 4 q  + 3 q  - 2 q
     q
In[4]:=
Jones[Knot[10, 112]][q] 
Out[4]=
       -7   4    7    11   14   14   14            2    3
-10 + q   - -- + -- - -- + -- - -- + -- + 7 q - 4 q  + q
             6    5    4    3    2   q
            q    q    q    q    q
