At least one example of dimension $2$ (but I don't have an example in other finite dimension). Take $X={\mathbb R}^2$ with $\ell^1$-norm $$\|x\|_1=|x_1|+|x_2|.$$ Then $X^*={\mathbb R}^2$ has the $\ell^\infty$-norm $$\|y\|_\infty=\max(|y_1|,|y_2|).$$ I turns out that $$\|x\|_1=\max(|x_1+x_2|,|x_1-x_2|)$$ and thus $X^*$ is isometric to $X$, via $x\mapsto(x_1+x_2,x_1-x_2)$.
