A B767 flight crew noted an unusual vibration upon gear retraction. They continued to their destination and when they selected gear down the nose gear seemed to immediately fall into place. They did a tower fly-by and both ATC and another pilot observing said the gear appeared to be extended abnormally. They continued to land without incident.
