Investopedia explains 'Full Delivery Shares'

Though it is possible to make money by trading these shares, they are considered a risky investment, because the companies they represent may have no income or assets and may essentially be bankrupt. In the United States, such low-valued stocks would be traded in the over-the-counter or unlisted markets.

Full delivery shares are more commonly called full delivery stock or full delivery securities.
