'Min' is used as an actual possessive word to indicate that a thing is yours, like 'my' or 'mine': 'Det är min halsduk.' - 'It is my scarf.'
Whereas 'mig' is used like 'me' or 'myself':
'Du tycker om mig.' - ' You like me.'
'Jag har på mig en jacka.' - ' I am wearing a jacket.'
In the last example, 'mig' is used literally almost as 'I have on myself' :)
