No- It would be: Her coat is different from that of her sister.

Even better would be this: Her coat is different from her sister's.

I disagree with Summer.
The sentence implies that the coat is different than her sister's coat.
The apostrophe is needed.

The "that of" makes the sister possessive- no need to be possessive twice.
