We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a noun phrase:

Is that John’s car?

No, it’s [my car]
> 
No, it’s mine.
Whose coat is this?

Is it [your coat]?
> 
Is it yours?
Her coat is grey, [my coat]is brown

Her coat is grey,

mine is brown.


We can use possessive pronouns after of.
We can say:
Susan is one of my friends.
or
Susan is a friend of mine.
but not
Susan is a friend of me
or
I am one of Susan's friends.
or
I am a friend of Susan's.
but not
I am a friend of Susan
